Oatman, Arizona, a tiny ghost town near the Arizona/Nevada/California border is famous for two things: Historic Route 66 goes right through the center of town, and there are dozens of wild burros living in the surrounding hills who come into town during the day to entertain the visitors. The burros are decendents of the ones used by miners in the 1800's who abandoned their animals when the gold ran out and they left town. Some days there might only be one or two that show up in town, some days (like this one) there are 30 or 40.

Honey, they don't want your right hand... They want what you're holding in your left hand! (Many shops in town sell bags of carrots that the visitors can feed to the burros)
Get here any way you can...
