Travel the USA

After the country re-opened after Covid-19, we are
"On the Road Again."
Please enjoy the 'armchair travels' and feel free to make comments.

In September of 2019, we made the 'epic' trip to the east coast for the first birthday of our grandson Evan.
Since Evan's birthday is in September, we decided to join a 29 day RV Caravan for the New England fall color. The tour starts in Maine and ends in Niagara Falls. All told, we did about 12,000 miles with the new truck and trailer.

Bisbee, Arizona

 

                                    A delightful day trip to Bisbee,

                     in spite of having to wear all 3 of my jackets into lunch.

                    (but it says it has the best year round climate on earth.)


The town is all about mining.

Mostly copper

The Lavender Pit open mine 
This is where 75 million tons of ore (copper, gold and silver) were removed
 from 1954 to 1970.

I love the signage of JC Penney store on the sidewalk.
The interior is anything but reminiscent of Penney's 
(ultra 'hippy'- for lack of a better name) 

The Bisbee 1000 Great Stair Climb

The Great Stair Climb is arguably one of the most unusual and challenging events in the world. The 4.5-mile course features nine staircases (over 1000 total steps) connected by winding roads.
