Here is a picture of the town of Bisbee, down in a
valley. We didn't realize this town was so historic.
It is also a little cooler than Elfrida since it is up in
elevation a little more (about 4500 ft if memory serves vs. 3400
or so in Elfrida...) |
 |
Because the town is built into the mountainside,
there are lots of VERY steep roads. This one has a
drainage ditch alongeside... |
 |
We just had to take pictures of this street.
It reminded us of "Diagon Alley" from Harry Potter -
the way the buildings are all right next to each other and there
is no car parking. I don't know if it is good or bad that
we reference historical points of interest by children's
movies... |
 |
This house is just so cute we had to take a
picture. Someone was painting it while we drove by...
maybe for sale? I was joking with Gary that we could live
in a house so darn cute. |
 |
The most amazing part of Bisbee for us was how the
houses are built right into the side of the hillside - and
seemingly right on top of each other. They really crammed
a lot of houses into a small space, and none of them seemed to
be "square" so we could really relate to their
construction. |
 |
By the time we got back to Elfrida, the storm was
back in full swing. No mention was made by the Tucson tv station
we get, about any kind of storm... Typical. About 48
hours previous to this storm, Gary couldn't sleep and said a
storm was coming. Just backs up my belief that the weather
people on tv are guessing based on computer print outs... |
 |
Here you can see a big cloud of dust being blown
about by the wind. We were surprised by the force of this storm. It ended up blowing all night
long again... |
