day 5

A whole heckin’ day in Bisbee

Falling asleep last night was a bit of a tall order - I stayed in a very cute trailer at the Shady Dell and there was a full downpour thunderstorm right above me for about an hour. Sleeping in a tin can can really amplify the sound of a storm and the whole place was shaking! It was a little scary there for a bit but once it chilled out I went straight to sleep.


After eating some breakfast, I decided to attempt the Bisbee 1000, a 5-mile walk around the town. The town is built into the mountains, so there are 1000 steps along the route. I got about half way through it and it was getting close to 90 degrees so I called it. Had a goal of staying out past sunset so had to save my energy!

Drove through Lowell, which according to google is “a populated place situated in Cochise County, Arizona, United States. It was incorporated into Bisbee in the early 1900s” on my way home. It’s a very quaint little strip with lots of old cars and a few small businesses.


Had a very relaxing rest of my day listening to The Nightingale, crocheting like a maniac, and having a bit of a nap. Took myself out for a yummy pizza at Screaming Banshee, and went to the Bisbee Social Club for a cocktail before heading home.
