If you happen to be driving through Arizona, one of your top stops should be the ghost town of Oatman along the historic Route 66. Not only does it give you a Wild West feel, but you’ll be surprised to be greeted by donkeys.

The town was named in the honor of Olive Oatman, a young girl who was kidnapped by an Indian tribe and later rescued. Oatman was once a lively town during the gold rush, but when the mines dried up the town was eventually abandoned.
