Helpfulness
Ok, so it isn't exactly in Kingman...
In a small rehabilitated ghost town, on Rt. 66, called Oatman, the wild burros wander through the town. Some of the shops sell carrots to feed them. the day I was there, between 10 and 20 were just hanging around, looking for a snack.
I don't know if anyone would stop in Oatman if there were no burros, so the town has made itself a stop to visit on Rt 66, with shops, restaurants, and a cowboy gunfight (acted out!) every day. Worth the time to stop for a bit. make sure you watch where you step!
