Cabin fever cured!

Well we are still at Lazydays....still waiting for parts.   We've been staying close to the coach in case they need us to move it or have any questions or concerns.   But we are getting cabin fever.   The campground is hosting a rally for Fleetwood owners and some of the vendors who attended the rally we did in Yuma are here.  I did take a couple of hours away from the coach to help a vendor demonstrate her  induction cooktop that she sells.   She demonstrates by making a beef stir fry and chocolate sauce over angel food cake.   I am her little helper who plates the food and hands it out to the audience.    She asked in Yuma if I would help when she found out we would be in Tucson this week.  I'm really good at eating food, so I thought I could handle handing out bowls, forks and napkins.

We had to get away for a little while so we took a trip to Bisbee, AZ.  Bisbee was founded by Lt. Anthony Rucker in 1877.  Rucker while  looking for Apaches in the Mule Mountains and Jack Dunn, a tracker with the group noticed the mineralization of the area.   Thus the start of this mining town, incorporated in 1902 heading towards a whopping population of 22,800 and becoming the county seat in 1929.    Mining ceased in the mid 1970's  and today the population is 5,300 but is a bustling tourist destination.   It is located in southeast Arizona, 8 miles from the border and 90 miles from Tucson.  It is known for it's unique architecture, nationally acclaimed art scene, an underground mine tour and Smithsonian affiliated museum.

The scenery driving to Bisbee is enjoyable in itself.

This is a private residence.   A very artsy community. 

A barber shop on the outskirts of town.   I've never seen
a shop this small....had to stop and take a picture.  Notice
the crates holding up the air conditioner!

This is an actual church with services on Sunday morning
and Wednesday evenings.   There motto is "An old West setting
with an exciting new vision".   Whatever that means!  The
Pastor is David Bales and the sign says "Come as you are...
Doubters welcome!   Imagine it would be interesting to attend
a service.

Goofy Ron at the Bisbee Grille where we stopped for lunch.
I'm always telling him he closes his eyes when his picture is
taken....so this is what I got.   Lunch was good and since they didn't
have his Budweiser, he tried one of their local brews....Daves Electric Beer.


We had a good time touring Bisbee and curing our cabin fever.

Hope all is well!!
