Default Oatman

After Riding from Prescott, AZ to Lake Havasu City, AZ we, Kat and myself decided that it was to hot to go back through the Great Arizona Outback. So we decided to go back on Old Route 66 thru Oatman, AZ.

Turns out we had happened on a custom/antique/exotic car exibition run 800+ cars entered for judging and Oatman was the lunch stop. Wish we could have spent more time there.

The cars were still streaming in from Kingman as we left

Lee,

Thanks for the pics and the report. Oatman has always been one of my favorite places when at the Laughlin river Run, or any time we are in that area. I am a real fan of Rt. 66 and ride it any time I get a chance.

Regards,

Bill
