We dove to Bisbee which was the location of the world's largest open pit copper mine. It was closed about 30 years ago but it's still very interesting to see. There is a shop nearby that sell Turquoise. The owners had a mine in the same location as the copper mine and when it closed they were able to finish mining their Turquoise. The owner said the Indians have a belief that Turquoise has a "life" and when it begins to turn black it's dying. Jerry bought some Turquoise at a real good price.

The town of Bisbee has homes and buildings just like they were back in the late 1800's. They are very quaint, the streets are narrow and some have cobble stones on them.
