Ghost Town and Gold Mine

Oatman, Arizona

We began our tour of Northwestern Arizona at the ghost town of Oatman. Burros wander around the street, they have an old jail and a few shops. A nice little 'western' town.

A couple of miles away is the Gold Road Mine. Our guide there was a former miner, who really knew his stuff. The mine has 146 miles of mine roads inside the mountain. Part of it runs under the old route 66.

A rich vein of gold.
