Founded in 1880....Bisbee was the  "Queen of the Copper Camps". With a mining life of almost a century and a peak population of 35'000 , Bisbee attained a permanence rare among mining towns.Now Bisbee is a free-spirited place with a thriving arts/music/hospitality scene, amid a remarkably well-preserved historical architectural setting...and that it is.
Spent the day wandering around Bisbee.... It's built on the side of a hill so there are random brick stairways everywhere all over town....most of them crumbling and precarious looking....from a brick stairway you can walk so closely to the houses that you are literally looking in their front doors/windows....


Every corner was a new surprise.....



And a vicious dog who scared the %$## daylights out of me...












...scared me soo much that I almost jumped out of my skin when I saw this friendly kitty cat!









Discovered this really cool alley covered in random art pieces..





..."I know the world must keep turning but must it be around me?.....


and our favourite one..





And....I think the "stop" was a sign.....that it's Beer O'Clock"...



We just are not good at this selfie thing!!! Took us 6 pics to get this one!!!


More of the town...



...not sure what they are doing? Security maybe??


another random large large bug!!




and last but not least....

We headed down to the Bisbee Grand Saloon and Hotel because we heard the "Whiskey Lickers" were playing and they were great to listen to.

Had a very unexpected "amazing" dinner from this little "restaurant area" in the back of the Saloon...one man show...takes your order...cooks...serves...cleans up...The beans and rice were to die for and George's pulled pork sandwich was one of the best he has ever had!!!

Top that with a few drinks and some good music...and a great last night in Bisbee....

(this isn't the actually video from the evening but a great one showcasing the band)



Bisbee.....I love you!!!

It's been windy for quite some time....like weeks...this morning it's pretty calm...but they are calling for more wind in the afternoon..... Decided to ride our bikes into St. George and check it out...really small casual little beach city... More white sandy beaches....this time with lots of shells...spent a good hour shell hunting... We saw lots of crab holes in the ground...apparently they are called "ghost crabs" and they only come out at night and they are almost transparent.. I was so excited when I spotted this shell.....but somebody was inside... and this baby crab on the outside!!! They have these really cute "tiny narrow rental homes".... these are the first skinny homes we have seen!! Saw dolphins in the distance for the first time today....super excited....George has to "make me move one" ....because I could stay all day and watch them... Biked out on the fishing bridge....this one goes out qui...

Today is the day....we must leave New York....it`s been great... it`s been expensive....and it`s time to go... Gracie may have wanted to visit this place...but no Dog Spa for her... Today is also the day we will part paths with Brother Joe...we will head West....because we must....he will have another direction...we will miss him....has been a great time travelling with him. It took us almost an hour to wind our way out of Jersey City...it was raining...and I swear Roxanne had us going in circles....there was detour after detour...and some ridiculously narrow streets.....but we made it......we had no idea where we were...the skies were grey and dismal and we just seemed to be going around and around..... And then this crazy horrible sign appeared...WTF....WEST!!! What is that!!!! It wasn`t long before we left the busy streets for rolling hill of trees...it is just so green and so hilly.... I love this one...it`s the first we have ever seen...... ...

It's a pretty fitting day to leave the beach...it's raining....it's still warm...but it's still raining.... Taking a ferry today instead of dealing with the traffic...won't take any time off our trip...but will take the miles off our trip...cost wise...not too sure...but if it can eliminate a few hours on the road in the city...it's worth it. This bird decided to build a nest in the busiest place ever!!! Right at the Ferry Terminal... And all along the way....Dophins.....Yay!! I will never tire of seeing them playing in the water! So before long we are on the New Jersey Turnpike.... which just means .....toll....after toll.....after toll.... and you have no idea which lane you are supposed to be in... Nightmare! Marty!!!.... You will love this....... You know all those American dimes and nickels I was saving.... Finally had a chance to use them.... Oh the look on his face when I gave him $6.00 in dimes and nickels!!! W...
