I had not been to Oaten before, but I saw a couple of articles about it, so I headed down to near Needles, AZ and headed about 20 miles east. Not much around here but a bunch of big casinos, but I did not take photos of them.
Everything here is supposed to look like it was built in an old mining town, but I suspect this is a little newer.
This is the very small village of Oaten.
The tourist attraction of the town is not just the old mining buildings, but also the wandering donkeys. Actually, they are in town because the shops sell donkey food to tourists.
It takes a whopping 20 minutes to walk from one end of town to the other, assuming you walk very slowly, however. It's only about two blocks.
This explains a little about the town.
I could have spent a little more time here, but most of the stores were closed due to the virus.
Good-bye Oaten. Did not even buy a post card! These look like old mining tailings on the way out of town.
