picture from the Oatman Hotel in Arizona. Oatman’s very cool, because
it’s a ghost town. A shop-lined street where they stage gunfights,
where wild burros wander, where you can find this hotel (which is rumored
to be haunted by Oatie the ghost). Clark Gable and Carole Lombard spent
their honeymoon in one of the rooms. In this picture, you can see hundreds
of dollar bills coating the walls. Miners used to pin their bills there
before going back to work, just so they’d have enough drinking
money when they returned to town. The tradition continues. Did we see
Oatie? Nope. But there was a burro braying outside my window at 2 a.m.
That was scary enough. |
