Tuesday, March 03, 2009 Riverside Adventure Trails, Fort Mohave, Az


We do so love the weather here. It’s warm and lovely.
We headed to an authentic western ghost town called Oatman, just 15 or so miles from our RV Park. We left Hattie in the RV because we figured it was no place for her. And we were right. It was a fun little town. Carl spotted $15 in the lot where we parked. There was no one around, so we figured it was ours. We spent it in no time. We bought Carl a coffee mug, Monica a shot glass and me a Christmas ornament. We were entertained with a gun fight in the middle of town and later on, the area’s wild burros came to town. They have learned over the years that the tourists will buy carrots from the local stores and feed them. They are very tame and oh so cute. We ate lunch at one of the local restaurants and shared a buffalo burger. It was pretty good. We went back to the RV for a nap and the check on the pets, then headed to Laughlin, Nevada. Laughlin is a mini-Vegas. I put $5.00 in a nickel slot machine and lost it in no time. That was the beginning and the end of our gambling.
On the list of places we never have to go to again, Fort Mohave and Laughlin are on the top.
We went back to the RV and had dinner and settled in for the evening.
