| Bisbee, Arizona notice the "B" on the hill above the town |
 |
| The Queen Mine...this is a Copper Mine that quit mining in 1975 |
 |
| Suited up and ready for our mine tour |
 |
 |
| This is our guide who is one of two miners that still live in Bisbee and worked until 1975..very knowledgeable |
 |
| Demonstrating how the dynamite is fused |
 |
| "Joe" built this wooden roof support structure in 1925 |
 |
| One of the carts which were used to bring the ore out....extremely heavy! |
 |
| Ok, for those who are wondering what you did when you had to use the bathroom in the mine ..here it is! It has wheels on it and a brake. One of the initiation rituals of a new miner was to use the bathroom when unknown to him the brake had been released! YUCK! |
 |
| Looking down into the mine. We both really enjoyed this tour, although when it began the walls in the entrance tunnel were pretty close and I felt a few moments of claustrophobia...but it did open up as we entered the mine. |
 |
| On the way back to Tombstone, we took a side trip to visit Fort Huachuca. This fort is an Army Intelligence School. |
 |
| Another interesting fact of this fort is that LaGuardia, eventually the mayor of NY, lived here with his family as a child. Just click once on this picture to enlarge and read about him. |
 |
| Here is a picture of LaGuardia and his family. |
 |
| In the museum of the history of intelligence is one of the first done prototypes. |
