On the way to the Desert/Solar Bar. It was 5 miles of dirt road. The bar is only open on weekends and is totally powered by the sun. They have bands, a limited menu and drinks. Perfect. It was an old copper mine and there is lots of copper ore laying around.
It is hard to do justice to the landscape that you see driving around out here with a picture. These pictures were taken on our way to Oatman, AZ. It is an old gold mining town on old route 66. When the mines stopped producing, the miners turned there pack burros loose and now the town is over run with wild donkeys. Not really too wild.
As you can see there was a gun fight while we were here. The sheriff got shot.
And the sun sets on another Arizona day and we move on to our next adventure. Next stop Las Vegas and Lake Mead to visit our niece.
