happens in Oatman, Arizona, an authentic western
ghost town and mining camp – located

Founded in 1906 and nestled in the Black Mountains
of the Mohave Desert, Oatman is the lone survivor
of the numerous communities that sprung up
in the area during the Gold Rush days of the
old west.

donkeys that roam the streets of this old west
mining town. Stroll into many of the original
historic buildings located on this historic
and famous highway.

Miner who died in 1930, is said to reside.

Gold Road Mine property had milled 140,000
ounces of Gold.
