Took a day trip from Benson down to Bisbee. It is about 55 miles south. Bisbee is a mining town that is still in operation but not to the scale it once was. Just a little south of town the open mine pit is located. The picture does not due justice to the size. The historic downtown section of Bisbee is full of old building that are really works of art themselves. It was difficult picking a few pictures to show the style of the town. Most of the building now are shops. The large building with the arches is still a libary. The streets are not level and there is a climb, the photos does not show it. We took a picture of some of the stairs that are throughout the town. There are a couple hotels and a bed and breakfast and several places to eat. Just south of Bisbee (about 6 miles) is the town of Naco and it is on the border of Mexico. There is nothing there as far as shops or stores but the main draw is a rv park and the oldest golf course in Az. We drove down and took a look. Very nice looking course, well taken care of. We are moving to Tucson for a few days then working our way to Sacramento area. Weather is warm and a little windy (STILL wearing shorts)

Cliff, nice pictures, that town looks interesting....
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed Bisbee. The pics don't do justice to the town. We are now in Gridley, I'll give you a call maybe grab a beer.
