Paddling on Roper lake
Roper Lake ~ A pleasant surprise in Safford Arizona
After leaving Bisbee we wanted to stop somewhere a few days to let the weather clear up in Utah where we planned to go next. I found a listing for…
Bisbee ~ Not just an Old Mining Town
This is our third trip to Bisbee. Bisbee is located in the mile high Mule Mountains in SE Arizona in Cochise County. Here’s a town that might not be at the top of your list as a getaway place. But I’m here to tell you, a weekend in this little hamlet will not only entertain and feed you, but you will leave with great memories and a smile on your face. Where else could you reserve a night or two in a Vintage Airstream Trailer, or spend the night in the historic Old County Jail? And don’t overlook a Spa treatment with Dr. Feelgood! Stop at the Silver King Hotel and enjoy a beverage at the smallest bar in Arizona. Instead of a tour bus to show you the sights, after breakfast, trek up the 1000 stairs leading thru the most colorful parts of Bisbee. If you are in an RV, reserve a spot at the Queen Mine RV Park and sit atop the hill with the best view of Bisbee and its first copper mine.

Casa Grande Ruins ~ A Mystery in the Desert
Casa Grande National Monument:
We have often wanted to visit this National Monument over the past few years. Since we were parked in nearby Eloy, we finally took a day to wander through this unusual site and visitor center. Park passes are accepted here and dogs too as long as they can be carried through the visitor center. (No dog feet on the floor until you reach the compound in the back)
From Eloy to the Casa Grande Ruins is about 20 miles. This is a National Monument which preserves the remains of an ancient Hohokam-era farming village, and the “Great House”
Eloy, Arizona
Where is Eloy you ask? It is located just south of the junction of Interstates 8 and 10 near Casa Grande. We had never stayed in this area before. We…
