Bisbee AZ

[goramsey]

I see that there are a lot of teardroppers that like Bisbee AZ. A book "Going Back to Bisbee" is a must read. I thought it was fantastic. Here is a little bit about it below.
From Publishers Weekly
Poet Shelton has created a powerful annal of place--a paean to the Sonoran desert south of Tucson, a landscape as prickly as the cacti that grow in it and yet as refreshing as a rainy-season rainstorm. Shelton imbues landscapes, flora and fauna with resonance, imprinting themes of memory, history and human nature in the reader's mind. The opening description of a Sonoran monsoon is a masterful evocation of weather, vibrant and violent. Shelton's ( The Tattooed Desert ) tour of the desert includes descriptions of a six-foot snake that rescued him from the local squirrels who were infiltrating his house; his disastrous attempt to harvest a yucca as a native Christmas tree; an attack by raging bulls on the Mormon battalion in the U.S.-Mexican war; his abrupt discovery of an adobe ghost town; and the sociology of an old mining village. Shelton knows the lore and the life of Southern Arizona, and his diction, both precise and evocative, reflects his poetic skills.

It is a bit expensive, but man oh man is it worth it.

Our old bike club, http://www.azbeemers.org/, made trips down there and had a blast in the old mouse trailers that were renovated for one of the parks.

It was always a big hit.

You might like the J.A. Jance mystery novels featuring Joanna Brady. She is the mythical sheriff of Cochise County, AZ and there is lots in there about Bisbee and that area of Arizona in general.

She writes a good yarn, too.
