Well I know where I was YESTERDAY. I was in Oatman. We found this strange graveyard?

I knew it was Oatman because of these all over the place. This lady just loved those Burro's. No that's not me.

Did not shop here.

Yep, that's definitely Oatman. Did you go into a gift store that sold things made out of red stone? That's the shop we considered buying last year. I wonder if they're still in business or if there are new owners. I don't blame you for not going into the store with the feces sign. I missed that one.

Here are a few more pictures of that cemetery up in the mountains (Rt. 66). Did you wonder how they buried anyone with all that rock? I sure did

Someone had "donated" a bottle of Arizona Iced Tea to the grave site.

Finally, outside a store in Oatman. Lou makes a pretty good dead body.

What an interesting place! I can't wait to be able to visit spots like that!

I wish I had that 'Fece happens" sign to put on my desk at school! I might just make me one! Great pics posted from both ladies who responded here!

Sparkle, my 83-yr-old mother put a couple of quarters in a video poker machine two days ago, hit a royal flush, and won $1000. It wasn't in Laughlin, but it happens. Or, you could drive out into the desert and look for this place we found--it's somewhere in the area, just don't know exactly where. We believe it's someone's house.

Did you email my friend Jackie in Bullhead City? She'd keep you busy.

Paulette, not when you've paid through Saturday night and you're Scottish!
I don't think they actually buried bodies there, it's either just memorials, or maybe ashes scattered. Anyway, tonight, hit the Buffet and the Slots. $1000 for 2 quarters. Eh? I'm more likely to put in $1000 and get two quarters.

I'm sort of late posting here - but ...
Love the burros - they're so cute !!! They're one of my favorite creatures. The one laying down is so sweet looking.
Thanks for the pictures - I like being able to see the sites without having to drive anywhere :D

So I'm an Alien just visiting this strange world and I find a gaudily lit building where people are frantically putting money into machines that gobble them up as fast as the coilns are inserted. I've studied banks, but I don't think this is one. I've come to the conclusion that this is some kind of charity where these well meaning people are donating their hard earned cash. What a wonderful world this is. I will report to The Council that this world deserves to be allowed to continue. So many good hearted people!
