    The stacked rocks are just a fun thing that people do everywhere they go. Just for harmony and to see how high they can get it. That sticker on the donkey was hilarious!

    The McDonalds in Barstow started as a walk-up counter and you ate at picnic tables outside. That graffiti bridge in Needles has been there since I was a kid in the 60's. The only way across the river was a single lane wooden bridge. The road to Oatman was a dirt road and we used to pile the rocks every time we went. When they paved it, it was one of those roller-coaster roads that you could defy gravity if you went fast enough. The burros are descendants of the burros that the miners used. Our family found some relics at those stone houses. The road going out of Oatman was not paved until the 80's. You had to go back through Bullhead to get to Kingman and Flagstaff.
    Thanks for the vid. Brought back lots of memories!

      Oatman is a trip, and that whole stretch of old 66 from Topcock to Williams is amazing. I've driven 66 and if I could pick just one part to drive that would be it... figures it's on the wrong end of I-40!

      well they had no ties no family's so were perfect for the job they were fed and sheltered and got to ride horses and deliver mail ..... a fun job i'm sure most kids liked it and were lucky to have that job. back then orphanages were not very good quality ...... and had a much better life as cowboys then stuck in an orphanage.

    Finally went to check out Oatman. I have to say, even with covid-19 shutdowns in place there is still alot of open shops and what have you to check out. The donkeys are so friendly (and hungry) and i even got a fun close encounter with one being trapped between it and wall that he pushed his weight into me against the wall to pass me by, so that was exciting.

  • @Timzart7
    @Timzart7 6 років тому

    A stack of rocks is called a cairn. Plural = cairns.They are used as trail markers or place markers. Some people like to make them everywhere they go, just to see if they are there when they come back years later, so it's tagging in nature without the destruction. But they can be really helpful when walking in the desert or mountains in marking how to get back.

    In Canada staked rocks are called inukshuks. Originally done by The Inuits of Arctic North America which represent landmarks or cairn, now a days if you drive up north or even across Canadian highways where you have many rocky out crops along the highways you can see them all over the place made by travelers for fun or just a sign for where they have been or passed by. Not too sure what they mean or represent in the US. Maybe the same kind of thing.
