Bisbee, AZ

Bumper stickers proclaim—“Bisbee is Mulberry on acid”

I disagree!  Is it an easy-going, laid-back, small town, kind of “Mulberry”?  YES!  Does it harbor people who live alternative, new-age, or old-hippie life-styles?  You betcha!  But, it is also necessary to add “old west” qualities to the description--honest people, tradition/manners, and warm hospitality.

You were right, Nancy!  Matthew and I enjoyed this small town just north of Mexico!  I would like to go back some day, just not on a Thursday.  On Thursdays, the majority of the town stores are closed.

Queen Mine Tour

Matt LOVED this tour!  We wore cool mining gear--hat, vest, belt, battery/light pack, AND got to go into the mine!
