Oatman, AZ

 

Main Street Oatman, AZ

Where in the world is Oatman, AZ and why would anyone care?  Well, Oatman is in the middle of the desert, about a 45 minute drive from Laughlin, NV and along the original, dirt road that nostalgia fondly refers to as US Route 66.  It's a beautiful drive there and back.  It's a tourist trap.  And you're driving history when traveling there.  Plus there's a gun fight or two each day of the weekend.  Unsure if it's re-enactments or they're just poor shots as it seemed to be the same people doing it each time.  Um, visit at your own risk.  Nothing else there.

But it did make for a nice weekend trip.  Also this past weekend we visited a R/C Float Plane Meet held at Windsor Beach here in Lake Havasu City.  This was cool!  We shoulda brought our camping chairs.  Beautiful planes.  Some so realistic that when you see the pictures of them in the air, you think they're full scale.  These guys were good.  Some great at acrobatics.  A few were learning.  And at least one ran out of fuel and had to be returned by boat while we were there.  

Otherwise, we're fine.  Our upcoming weekend is our first with clouds & rain since leaving Colorado Springs, CO.  It's getting cooler, so we'll try to take advantage of it and walk some in the desert.  Repairs to the trailer are done, though there's always something that needs fixin'.  New roof mounted satellite TV antenna works great - especially now that we know that when we execute a satellite TV receiver system reset (long story), we have to go back and have the receiver do a switch check on the 

antenna.  New antenna also makes a good bird perch. I'll let you figure out how we know.


Anyway, that's it from here.  Hope you're favorite candidate won. At least the commercials are over.  Later, David
