Set 27, 2011  Our campground host tells us we don”t want to miss going to Oatman.  It’s an old western town. It’s where Carey Grant and Carol Lombard sent there honeymoon.  He says bring carrots and feed them to the burrows that hang around the town.  We drive 13 miles out Old Route 66 into the desert.  Oatman is a must go to. We laughed so hard.  I got head butted by “Jackie” a very friendly burrow. She chased us into a store. She chased me down the street … all in pursuit of our carrots.  I sent postcards with special burrow cancellations from the “Ole” post office.  We watched a “shoot out” in the street put on by The Shriner’s.  They do it several times a day and pass a hat for donations for the Children’s Hospital. During the “shoot out” a parade of about 20 “Jackie’s” came walking down the middle of the street.  The sound of the guns must be like a calling for them.  They know there will be lots of tourists and lots of carrots. David had hid our bag of carrots and after the shoot out he retrieved them and was swarmed by burrows.  I laughed so hard.  I wasn’t touching those carrots again. … those burrows are carrot crazy!!!  The town takes you back in time to the Old West in such a fun way.  I could have spent the whole day there.  Next stop  Bryce and Zion Canyons.  We stop in Mesquite, Nevada at the Oasis RV Park ($22). It is right at the Arizona border and the base of a huge mountain.  David figures we’ll give Old Bessie a rest and then tackle the mountain in the morning when it’s cool.
