The Quirky Town of Oatman, Arizona


Oatman was "resurrected" by a few hardy souls after the mines played out.   These creative folk decided to re-invent Oatman as a quintessential mining town that in modern times "poked fun at itself".   The re-invention was made more colorful via inclusion of the wild burros, who today are very much a center of attention to the wonderful, little, quirky town of Oatman Arizona.

Oatman has lots of interesting (and cute) signage.....these photos will help to describe the kind of town we four visited today....the UK cousins thought it was a wonderful experience......hold on to your hats.....here is Oatman, as told by its signs:













So there you have Oatman.....we think it speaks for itself......and here are two more to close in style....
