The 'Wild' Burros of Oatman, Arizona

These friendly critters are one of the many, many fun things to see during my motorcycle travels. The burros are descendants of those used by the miners way back when. As the mines started shutting down, the miners no longer had a use for the burros, so they just released them. The burros now roam around the Southwest desert areas, and are one of the fun attractions at Oatman, Arizona located on old Route 66.

The song is entitled "Say You Believe" by Amanda Kaletsky, and it has absolutely no relevance whatsoever to the topic of the video project, but at least it's pleasant sounding and, most importantly, it is one of the "officially approved" songs out of YouTube's own "AudioSwap" music library, so the song's use on YouTube is presumed to be O.H.F. (Officially Hassle Free LOL).

Use to live there. Just get out of the way during mating season. Not a pretty sight. You think there are so many other places..All one can say is

I love everything about Route 66 and also drove on parts of it 4-5 times now. My favorite was a road trip between Austin, Texas and Vegas (there's a video in my USA playlist). If you have sometime, check it out... I'd love to know what you think! :) All the best!
