Actually these adventures took place between Christmas and New Year's. We went to Madera Canyon, because I had heard so much about it from my birding friends. The weather was bright and sunny, but there was left over snow. I still tromped around jacket-less, taking pictures. The background was beautiful, but I concentrated on the yucca pods.
The volunteers at the bottom of the canyon told us about a Mexican restaurant in Green Valley, so we went there for lunch. It's called Los Agaves and is probably the best food I've had since my arrival.
One day we went to Bisbee, an old mining community, and toured the Queen Mine. It was cold in our mile high location, and colder down in the mine. My pictures didn't come out very well due to the lighting.
This is one of the antiques in the hotel dining room where we ate.
This is the outside of the hotel. It's at least three stories. I wonder if they give tours and whether they have a ghost. I think I'd like to come back here when the weather is nicer.
In the lobby, they had a metal sculpture of a palm tree that was very interesting.
Here's Ginny suited up and getting a light attached to her belt. They asked us to be there 20 minutes early, so we could get dressed.
At Tubac a few days earlier, we took an historic tour of the settlement. That lady was our guide and did a good job. It's presently an arts and crafts colony. I was here in the spring and you can see more pictures from my earlier postings. We enjoyed a nice lunch in one of their small restaurants, but I can't remember the name.
