It's amazing the hidden treasures we have found in these small, strange towns we end up in. Turns out the famous Route 66 happens to go through Kingman AZ and if you follow it you'll see a whole lot of desert and cacti. It's a spot that is so hot and dry weeds don't even grow. As you wind through the mountains on this old disintegrating road you'll see a lot of strange things. It's a surprisingly beautiful drive considering how dry and dead everything is. The road is extremely narrow and very steep, just a little scary. If you are afraid of heights you may want to keep your eyes upward and ignore the steep edge and lack of guardrails. As you continue down this famous Route 66 that must have inspired the movie cars you'll find yourself in the almost non existent town of Oatman AZ known for their Wild Asses.

We loved Route 66 and Oatman AZ so if you ever happen to find yourself near Kingman AZ it's definitely worth checking out.
