Bisbee AZ, April 19-21


Going to Bisbee is like going to Mecca for Steve.  There is a vintage trailer motel called the Shady Dell which features a variety of vintage trailers and a boat that you can stay in.  They are all furnished in period furniture and accessories.  They even had a little diner call Dot's that was open until a couple of years ago.  The Shady Dell has been here since 2000 and has been featured in the NY Times, Gourmet, etc.

You can even stay in a cabin cruiser. 
We stayed at a campground 6 miles outside Bisbee.
It looks desolate, but it was very beautiful.
We had views of the  valley and the mountains.

Bisbee, itself was a cool town founded because of the copper mines.  The town is built into the mountains with steep roads and turn of the century buildings.
