Bisbee: Queen Mine Tour

 From February 2022

Julia went on the Queen Mine Tour in Bisbee, while I hiked up the mountain (next post) on the gravel road behind Darlene's place.  

 

I've been on enough mine and cave tours for the duration of my lifetime, but Julia is a daughter of a geologist/rock guy.  She is always fascinated.

I finished my hike and drove down to Bisbee, meeting at the Old Bisbee Brewing Company.  Due to the pandemic, I usually take advantage of the outdoor spaces of brewpubs and restaurants.  However, I couldn't resist taking a picture of the tasting room here.  The tasting room and the brewing room are the same place.  Very unusual, but it's an old building without a lot of space.

Bisbee: Walking Around and Old Bisbee Brewing Company

 From February 2022

On our first day in Bisbee, we did a lot of walking around the historic part of town and just relaxing.  Bisbee is a different type of tourist town from Hatch.  It definitely has an old hippie vibe.  

There's a downtown park where people congregate.  Sometimes, a street musician will set out a tip jar, singing for supper or beer money. 

Speaking of beer money, there are two brewpubs in the area.  Our favorite was Old Bisbee Brewing Company.   We went often.  Even though the weather was cool, due to Bisbee's 5500' elevation, afternoons were usually warm enough to sit outside and have a beer on the patio.
