Visit Jackass Junction, where the burro’s tongue is more expressive than the road signs.
He doesn’t blink, just judges.
The tongue? Pure performance art.

Driving up to Oatman after sunset just hits different. This was an actual surprise. I didn't do a lot of research about route 66 before we embarked because I wanted to be surprised. Oatman delivered. #Route66 #MotherRoad #GetYourKicksOnRoute66 #Oatman #Donkeys

On the way to Oatman, Arizona, on Route 66, a family of donkeys blocked the road with daddy donkey coming up to my window, on lower left, to collect the toll and allow us to continue driving!
It cost us several carrots 😂!

On the way into Oatman, Arizona, on Route 66, the donkeys intercepted cars headed for town.
They blocked the road looking for treats.
Donkeys are common in town, but I’ve never seen them on the road so far from town. 🤗

Passed through Oatman, Arizona the other day. It’s really, really out in the boondocks.
But what other tiny town has wild mules hanging out everywhere, including stubbornly standing still right in the middle of the road, refusing to move for cars? Gotta love […]

An old burro stands between two tall wooden poles. He is sticking out his tongue as if he is making a silly face for the camera. Behind him is an old Western style storefront.
An old burro stands in a store. He is right in front of the clerk counter. This burro knows how to do a trick where he stomps his front foot on the ground, but I didn't get a good picture of it, unfortunately.
Three burros stand in the street eating food off of the ground. Behind them is an old store and a sign that says "burro food" with an arrow pointing to the store. These guys stole the bag of food right out of my hand!
A dark brown burro is smiling in the center of the street. Another grey burro stands next to her. A hand reaches in from out of the frame to feed her. This burro is young and very confident! She will push you out of the way if she needs to.
I got to visit the burros in Oatman, Arizona this week! They're very friendly, unless you're in between them and their food! 🫏🫏
Thanks for taking care of the burros and the tourists, Oatman! Lovely people, lovely animals, lovely town!

Here's a short from my recent trip to Arizona to visit my brother. Oatman, AZ is famous for their donkeys. They just wander around without a care in the world.
