A few years ago, I was given a tip about a trailer park that rented vintage trailers as “motel rooms” in Bisbee, Arizona.  Bisbee it seems to be famous for two things, a) an enormous copper mine and b) the altitude, 5,000 ft and very pleasant when the lower surrounding area will be scorching.  Off I went with no idea what I was going to find and found the Shady Dell Trailer Park at the south end of town on the traffic circle.  I regret not staying longer to just walk around town.  I will get back there.

If you like the ’50′s era, you will really enjoy this place.  Stayed the night in the Spartanette and watched the original movie “The Blob” with Steve McQueen on a vintage B/W portable TV. (the VCR was hidden in a cabinet)

Dot’s  Diner holds 6-7 people at a time, but there was never a wait.  Food was diner style and good stuff.

A buddy, Mark Harmel, sparked this piece because of his blog post about Tombstone (nice dawn shot), just north of Bisbee.
