Driving up to Oatman after sunset just hits different. This was an actual surprise. I didn't do a lot of research about route 66 before we embarked because I wanted to be surprised. Oatman delivered. #Route66 #MotherRoad #GetYourKicksOnRoute66 #Oatman #Donkeys

Passed through Oatman, Arizona the other day. It’s really, really out in the boondocks.

But what other tiny town has wild mules hanging out everywhere, including stubbornly standing still right in the middle of the road, refusing to move for cars? Gotta love these mules.
