Unbelievable Ghost Town Adventure on Route 66 | Randomland Explores Oatman
Join Justin Scarred and the Randomland crew on an unforgettable journey along Route 66! Dive into the history and quirks of Oatman, Arizona—a ghost town teeming with wild burros and fascinating roadside attractions. Explore hidden gems between Kingman and Oatman, including the iconic Cool Springs Cabin, which inspired DCA's Cars Land. This adventure is packed with weird signs, abandoned gas stations, and wacky tourist traps. Don't miss this epic Route 66 adventure from 2016, now rediscovered for new audiences!
Previously: Weird Signs, Wild Burros, Ghost Towns, Inappropriately named mountains! It's 110°F on Route 66 in Arizona today, which means it's the perfect day to explore an old alignment of Route 66 between Kingman Arizona and the old mining town of Oatman, which is being run by wild Burros! There's a lot of epic abandoned stuff to explore out here, but one thing that was never abandoned was the little mining town that's full of wacky tourist trap-type roadside wonders, and one little surviving piece of a classic Route 66 oasis copied in DCA's Cars Land, The Cool Springs Cabin office! Also, there's an abandoned gas station around the corner from two very out-of-place looking old Route 66 restaurants that really blow my mind for some reason. We're back on the mother road for another adventure that skirts the line between fun and heat stroke!

can probably feed oats to donkeys, but that's not how it got its name at all.
29:25
that's not how it got its name at all.
29:25
that's not how it got its name at all. It turns out that Oatman was named after
29:27
It turns out that Oatman was named after
29:27
It turns out that Oatman was named after a pioneer family. The Oatman family was
29:30
a pioneer family. The Oatman family was
29:30
a pioneer family. The Oatman family was traveling through this area when they
29:32
traveling through this area when they
29:32
traveling through this area when they were attacked by a band of Indians. They
29:35
were attacked by a band of Indians. They
29:35
were attacked by a band of Indians. They killed almost everyone in the family.
29:38
killed almost everyone in the family.
29:38
killed almost everyone in the family. Two sisters were taken prisoner and one

Two sisters were taken prisoner and one
29:40
Two sisters were taken prisoner and one of their brothers was severely beaten
29:42
of their brothers was severely beaten
29:42
of their brothers was severely beaten and left for dead. Two daughters
29:44

29:47
survived the attack and were taken into
29:47
survived the attack and were taken into captivity. One of them died of
29:48
captivity. One of them died of
29:48
captivity. One of them died of something. I don't know, probably heat
29:50
something. I don't know, probably heat
29:50
something. I don't know, probably heat stroke given the weather out here. Jeez.
29:51
stroke given the weather out here. Jeez.
29:52
stroke given the weather out here. Jeez. But the other one was sold to a
29:54
But the other one was sold to a
29:54
But the other one was sold to a different tribe and survived and spent
29:56
different tribe and survived and spent
29:56
different tribe and survived and spent the next 4 years living with them before
29:59
the next 4 years living with them before
29:59
the next 4 years living with them before she was rescued and returned to her own
30:02
she was rescued and returned to her own
30:02
she was rescued and returned to her own kind, I guess, but not before they left
30:04
kind, I guess, but not before they left
30:04
kind, I guess, but not before they left her with some sweet face tattoos. And so
30:08
her with some sweet face tattoos. And so
30:08
her with some sweet face tattoos. And so apparently that's what the Oatman
30:09
apparently that's what the Oatman
30:09
apparently that's what the Oatman massacre is. And Olive Oatman is who the
30:12
massacre is. And Olive Oatman is who the
30:12
massacre is. And Olive Oatman is who the town is named after. Now, that happened
30:14
town is named after. Now, that happened
30:14
town is named after. Now, that happened in the 1850s, so I highly doubt Olive
30:16
in the 1850s, so I highly doubt Olive
30:16
in the 1850s, so I highly doubt Olive Oman ever lived in Oatman itself, but
30:20
Oman ever lived in Oatman itself, but
30:20
Oman ever lived in Oatman itself, but it'd be pretty cool if she did, huh?
