As those of you who follow us on our dotnet website know, our good friend Danny from Royal Oak (Detroit) Michigan, visited Patti and me for the past four days (Wednesday the 11th until yesterday the 14th) here in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
During his visit, Danny and I visited Oatman, Arizona, and Danny was able to see, alive and up close, some of the Oatman Burros. Patti was not able to join us.
This Part 1 of a 2 part series of our visit to Oatman, focuses upon Danny's interaction with the Oatman Burros.
Below are a few photos showing some views from the road into Oatman.
Historic Route 66..
Some of the Oatman Burros actually meet you out on the highway before you get into town!
Welcome to Oatman, Arizona!
Danny and I have parked our car and we are now out on the (one and only) Main Street of Oatman.
In the below photo, the white bag you see in Danny's left hand, is full of "Burro Treats", food that is healthy for them.
Cap and Danny and Patti who was not able to join us.
I would love to visit Oatman again. I have fond memories of visiting there when on one of my motorcycle trips. I suspect the burros who greet you before you enter town are hoping for some good junk food. They don't know they shouldn't eat it. Or maybe they do and that's why they head out of town. They know where the good tasting stuff is.
ReplyDeleteOooh, how fun and exciting to see Los Dos Amigos (Cap & Danny) visiting Oatman! And to have you, Cap, riding shotgun and being tour guide, interpreter and longtime friend as well! To see Danny interacting with Burros in the proper fashion, feeding 'em the right treats (instead of carrots as do some visitors) brings me great joy! Did you two arrive in time for the Noon Day shootout? Another fun adventure!
