Harold Krewer points out that a recent article on TripAdvisor.com lists "Six Hidden Travel Gems" you should go visit, at this link. IRM is one of the hidden gems! Another is Lowell, Mass. (They must attach a different meaning to the word "hidden" than I do.) We were just at Lowell, and I'll have a post up about it soon. Another item on the list, of all places, is Oatman, Arizona. I've been to Oatman, and I'll save you all a long, hot journey.
It's a semi-ghost town in the middle of barren mountains. Many buildings are abandoned, and wild animals wander down the street looking for handouts. We passed through there because it's on the old Route 66, but the road is terrible. Steep hills, sharp curves, no signs. We just kept hoping the rental car wouldn't break down. Other than gawk at the wild burros, there's not much to do in Oatman. But I guess it was good for a few laughs. In any case, thanks, Harold!
