Oatman is a gold mining ghost town located along the old Route 66. Burros that came in with the miners roam freely through the tiny one road town. The town was named after the Oatman family who were waylaid in 1851 on their way from Tucson to Yuma. Only two daughters survived and were taken by the Mojave Indians. The parents and four other children were all killed. Oatman is a little out of the way, but lots of fun to visit.
