  • Oatman! along Historic Route 66 and over Sitegreaves Pass the windy 23 mile streach of rod fetures 191 curves and scenic mountain views If you ever stop at this living ghost town is worth it! This former mining town is filled with history, ghosts, and tourism options. Oatman is located about 50 minutes southwest of Kingman along the very fun Route 66

As I sit her watching your videos with the perfect music and drone footage I realize that I’m actually seeing more than I would from the road! Plus saving gas money!!

I have stopped several times in Seligman (at the Shell gas station along I-40 and at the KOA campground) but Oatman is a place I still have to go after 15 visits, maybe next year. RICHARD

    Hi Russ, what a ride. Down by that burro you stopped at on the way to Oatman is a place we used to go swimming. Up under those trees. I used to work as an assayer there at the Goldroad Mine. There are actually tunnels under 66. One night on break i was out watching this 48' semi come down that hill. Let's say my break lasted longer then expected; we were all out watching him. He made it. That hairpin he backed up and pulled forward a few times. Great journey!

    We love your channel, and even travel a lot in your footsteps :o)
    One question though… you don’t do your own oil changes? I own 3 diesels and other that the timing belt service etc… I do most services myself. If you have a hard time getting under the van or car, these days they have those vacuum pumps that suck the oil in like 10 minutes.
    Hihi… just saying, you look so handy, and you can save a ton of money! The dealer charges us $399 (with coupon) for an oil change, I do it for 60 with the correct oil and filter, etc…
    Anyway, love your channel, the kids are also looking forward each time there is a new video :o)
    Last trip we did was Page, Kanab, Bryce Canyon, etc… other than the closer to home like Prescott and such…
    Blessings!

    Oatman is a ghost town. They have one bar and thats about it. Well that was about 55 years ago when I was 15 years old. I spent Summer Vacation living on a ranch between Oatman and Bullhead City. I worked at a plumming supply in Bullhead. We road Horseback into Oatman a couple times just for the helluvit. Now in this Video, Oatman is waaaaayyy built out for Tourism. Good for them. All those old western style buildings on the main drag in town? They are not old they are just built for tourists. Yep, good luck with it.

    I lived in Oatman in the 90s...looks a lot like it did then, but there are some new additions. Finally making things a little more accessible, and some new construction. thanks, enjoyed seeing my old town!
