AW buys a Clubman, the road adventure thread.

Love the mules!! I think they're mules - so cute!

You two must be having a wonderful time. I'd love to hear more details when you have time.

You're close, they are wild donkeys. They beg for carrots in Custer state park. We didn't know, but next time we'll have some carrots for them.

[ontheroadagain]

Aww, they're very cute...I thought they were too big for donkeys.... I thought, at first they were next to your MINI...but it was just my imagination.

Burro's then

Is'nt there some place in Az , a ghost town populated entirely by donkeys that the former townsfolk left behind ?

[ontheroadagain]

Do you mean this place? Wild Burros of Oatman, Arizona pack animals left behind by gold miners though they do have people there, too....but no seals!

[AprilWhine]

Do you mean Oatman Arizona? It was almost a ghost town at one time but is now a tourist attraction. It has a herd of wild burros in the town that are allowed free rein. Our MINI club went through there in April:

Thats the very one, it was on the R66 route but we elected to go on an older alternate route a little north of Oatman and missed it

[ontheroadagain]

OOOoo, I want to go there to pat and feed the burros! That's too bad you missed it Goonery. Love those pix, Sherry!

[AprilWhine]

BB, when I ran out of carrots, one of them bit my purse!

[ontheroadagain]

Gee, I was sure I responded to your biting burros, I mean wild donkeys eating purse report - but it's not here.

I had made the silly quip that the feeding of these seemingly harmless fellas and gals is probably akin to the feeding of bears in Yellow Stone...but with less ominous results.

Please keep us posted on your adventure - I want to live vicariously.

Well, the latest thing is we decided to trade our RV for a larger one. After living in a 23' coach for a month, we decided we like the lifestyle but need some more room. We're picking it up at the Winnebago factory outlet store on Monday, I'll post before and after pictures.

[ontheroadagain]

Wowzer! But not surprising - it's sort of like living aboard a sailboat...albeit a landlocked one. Will be waiting to check it out!

[AprilWhine]

Well, it makes sense really. RV prices are dirt cheap right now, everyone is afraid of gas prices. We bought a mid range diesel coach for 33% off MSRP, and still got a good trade allowance for our RV.

Good for you two, Sherry. It's probably nicer than my house!
