Ghost town in Arizona hopes for tourism boom with Route 66 centennial

Route 66 is turning 100 this year and Oatman, a tiny Arizona town, said Mother Road saved it. Oatman went from gold boom to ghost town, then roared back with burros, gunfights, and Route 66 tourism. Now locals hope the centennial sparks the next big comeback. Mason Carroll reports. STORY: #Route66 #Route66Centennial #Arizona #Oatman #MotherRoad #TravelArizona #HistoricRoute66 #RoadTrip…

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.
