_24 March ‘08 Monday

Sunday we stayed close to “home” and didn’t do too much, but on Monday we headed south to Bisbee.  Bisbee is about 40 miles south of St. George, were we are now, and 2 miles north of the Mexican border town of Naco.  Now Naco doesn’t have too much to brag about but being a small Mexican town that supports the copper mines of Bisbee with man-power.  The drive to Bisbee was quite beautiful as we drove through the high desert.  Fact is, Bisbee is over a mile high and sits in a beautiful cut between two mountains.

_The streets of Bisbee are narrow, winding, and all going uphill (OK, some go downhill too).   All this, is best enjoyed by walking.  The whole town is listed on the National Historic Register and you can certainly see why.  The main commercial area is old and “historic”, and the small homes that cling to the hillsides of the mountains are quaint and beautiful (some more than others).  We took a great walk through Bisbee and found lots of interesting places, things,

_and people that make Bisbee “Bisbee”.  Just as you leave town to the south you find the huge copper mine terracing it’s self far below the highway.

_At one time Bisbee was the largest city between St. Louis and San Francisco as well as being one of the richest mineral deposits in the WORLD.  Today it’s a reminder of the “Good Ole Times and the Past Charms” of days past.  Lunch time came just in time…  as we were passing the front porch of The Copper Queen Hotel, we knew we had found just the right place…  Now it was on to find were Coronado passed through between 1540 and 1542.  While we were there we just happened to run into one of his “soldiers”.

_What were Coronado and his crew doing in this area???...one word, GOLD !!!  It was never found.  Heading a little further West, we found ourselves in Sierra Vista again.  The last time we were here we were heading to Parker Canyon Lake but this time, I wanted to find the Suzuki dealer that I heard was here.  We’ve been having a “whine” coming out of the transmission and I wanted someone to look into it.  After finding the dealer, going for a test drive with the mechanic, and calling the Suzuki rep, we found ourselves driving a loaner car back to the coach.  They feel that there are at least 2 bearings that need to be replaced so why not get it done right now???
