Bisbee to Silver City
Had a short driving day ahead of me so took my heckin’ time this morning getting breakfast. The Shady Dell has a diner onsite. They’re only open weekends so I am really glad I caught them. This breakfast sandwich was SOMETHING ELSE Y’ALL.
Bacon! Gruyere that was crispy! Eggs seasoned with chives! Chipotle aioli! And some crispy ass home fries. Sheesh.
The Shady Dell, aside from being a diner and trailer hotel, was a great collection of vintage vehicles and other treasures (surrounded by a cemetery on two sides!). Snapped some pics before I hit the road.
It took about 3 hours to drive from Bisbee to Silver City. I know I keep snapping 1000 photos of the road, but I can’t help it! It’s so beautiful, and I love watching the terrain change as I move across states.
Checked into a lil cabin at the KOA, and headed over to Whiskey Creek Zócalo. My friend David’s longtime friend Rafael (with the help of many friends) opened this bar/restaurant/venue last year. When David found out about my trip he said I had to stop by, and he was not wrong. I had a delicious wood-fired pizza with pepperoni and green hatch chilis, watched a California country singer named Victoria Bailey perform, and hung out with Rafael and his friends. There was a very clear sense of community there and I was welcomed with open arms. A special night at a special place - really hope to make it back someday.
