Bisbee, Arizona and the Queen Mine


Back in Arizona after 9 months, stopped in Bisbee, Arizona, well-known mining town.  The mining here ended in 1975 due to the drop in copper prices.  Tourism now drives this town, you can take a tour the Queen Mine.  The tour was quite amazing, riding a little train 750 feet into the mine where a former miner explains how they mined copper, silver and gold out of the mine.  We also were able to view an open mine right outside the town.
