January 29, 2015. Fun Bisbee

CAMPGROUND:  Queen Ann Mining RV Park.  Commercial park overlooking town.  Big circle with rigs backed in around perimeter.  A few picnic tables.  Nice showers.  Full hook-ups.  $30/night. 4 stars

LOCATION:  Bisbee in in southeast Arizona.  We are about 15 miles north of Mexican borde

WEATHER:  Nice during the dish. Highs around 60.  Rain started in evening

We drove through the high desert, about 7500 feet, through miles of scrub brush.  We stopped in Douglas, New Mexico for lunch.  We ate in a Mexican restaurant just footsteps from Mexico.  Our lunch was beef strips in a chile sauce.  Very interesting.  We were the only English-speaking people.  

On to Bisbee, which we had heard is a fun town.  On the outskirts, we got a little lost and ended up in sort of a time warp.....

Bisbee used to be a major copper mining area, and at one time it was the biggest city between New Orleans and San Francisco.  It was full of saloons and brothels.  Now it has been turned into art galleries, shops, restaurants and bars.  We stopped at their brewpub, located on Brewery Gulch.  

We had planned to stay here through Sunday, but learned that the RV patk is filled.  We will find something else nearby.  We can't go to the Tucson area yet, as it is filled with Super Bowl overflow.  

DINNER:  George grilled burgers on the propane grill.  (Fires not allowed).  We added jalapeño peppers and onions.  We ate them on jalapeño cheese buns.  Good!
