March 24, 2009Today we traveled south of Tombstone to the town of Bisby. It is known as an artist's enclave and it is a quaint town with a lot of potential - though much of it is wasted.
The best part of the trip, though, was the beautiful scenery. The picture at above is the tunnel at the end of the journey. Just the other side is the town of Bisby.
We had driven to Ft Huachuca first, and after Bill got a military hair cut, we took the scenic drive to Bisby.
Once there, we stopped in the visitor's center. When I signed the guest book I noticed that more than half the visitors were Canadian citizens.
We ate at a fairly decent Mexican restaurant and then walked up and down some of the streets, but we found that most of them were used clothing and furniture stores and there were few real artisans.
It didn't matter though, because as I said, the highlight of our day was the beautiful mountains.
On the way home we drove through Tombstone and I got a picture of my sister's high school, now closed and boarded up. Then we drove on to Benson where we stopped at the only two cemeteries in town and we got out and walked up and down the rows, looking for my Aunt Kit's grave.
We never did find it. For now, the location is our unsolved mystery.
