In this episode of the Route 66 Adventure Hinckley provides some narration about the Gold Road here in Arizona. We passed a few claims as we headed for the ghost Town of Oatman, but it was a ghost town transformed to a very popular tourist attraction populated by Donkeys. From there we do our second side trip to Lake Havasu. Here we can see the authentic London Bridge that was disassembled, shipped here, and reassembled. This town is a tourist trap with plenty of things to see and do. We ate there then headed for Needles, the first town in California. Our first stop as we enter Needles is the iconic Carty Camp Station (closed) where owner Alice Hall gave us history, and across the street is the 66 Motel. When we entered Needles we were greeted by their welcome wagon. Linda Fitzpatrick is our guide in Needles.
