Beautiful Carole Shoot up in Arizona Every afternoon they have a mock-up shoot up like in the old western, that´s the cowboys laying on the ground, those guns are loud! The donkeys have free run of the place as they own the town! The story is that when the town closed down about 15,000 people and miners left because they stopped mining gold. So they released all the donkeys and acording to the story the donkeys own Oatman. You are warned that these donkeys own Oatman town are considered wild and they will bite and kick. However I have not seen any of that and I have been there many times. The shop owners make beautiful Indian and Wetsern jewellery. They have just recently re-opened a few of the mines and in speaking with the miners they are removing gold but not as much as they used to. Plus it is very expensive in mining so they take what they need to make it profitable. More on Oatman You will also note that Clark Gable married and slept at that hotel. The Colorado River is shown on the pictures, much boating and camping is done here. There is a lot of open country here and for the last three years the place is booming - so much people.

Clark Gable and Carol Lombard honeymooned at the Oatman Hotel March 18, 1939. Their honeymoon suite is still one of the major attractions that keeps the Oatman Hotel open. Gable returned here often to play poker with the local miners and enjoy the solitude of the desert. "He had rugged good looks and a devilish grin and radiated a dangerous sexuality. His nickname was The King (the result of a 1938 newspaper poll), and he sealed the title by playing Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind. She was a blonde, screwball heroine (My Man Godfrey) who played giddy and glamorous with gusto and had a formidable reputation for swearing. When they wed in 1939 (his third, her second) it was a match made in Hollywood heaven."
