Day Trip to Bisbee, AZ

Load the dogs in the car and Gary, Shirley and I head out for a drive. We stop in Sierra Vista to do some puppy accessory shopping and decide to head to Bisbee for lunch.
The Bar at the Copper Queen Hotel has a patio so we opt to eat there since we have Tucson and Beethoven.
A beautiful day and the food was very good.
Bisbee was founded in 1880 and named after Judge DeWitt Bisbee a financial backer of the Copper Queen Mine. It proved to be one of the Richest Mineral sites in the world. Bisbee thrived until the mid 1970's when large scale mining was no longer profitable. Today it is making a comeback as an artist and retirement community.

Till Later!
Meanwhile, we keep on Trek' n
