ℹ️ About this episode:
On this episode of LivinRvision, we have arrived in Arizona and are making our way today to explore an area that we missed the last time we were in this area. We’re heading to Bisbee, Arizona and its adjoined neighboring town of Lowell. In case you’re not familiar with where Bisbee is located, it is a city in the county seat of Cochise County in southeastern Arizona, 11 miles north of the Mexican border and 92 miles southeast of Tucson.
Lowell, Arizona was once a sizable mining town located just to the southeast of Bisbee. Today, it is a small neighborhood of the larger community. Mining in the Mule Mountains proved quite successful in the early 20th century and the population of this area soared.
Ride along with us on this fascinating journey as we share the rise and the fall of Bisbee, share some local food favorites and as always, have a little fun along the way! 🤠🤓
Enjoy!

BBC is a great place for breakfast. Hiking the steps in town is the best. We lived in Bisbee for 3 years…had a great time there.

Back in the mid 70's I served in the Navy with a fellow from Bisbee. We asked him what there was to do there, and he stated not much, and that was why he joined the Navy.

Watching your videos makes me laugh but it sometimes also makes me cry because I love your country and something about your travels does something in my heart that I can’t even explain. Thank you for sharing your travels….even though I can’t do it myself, I at least get to experience the magic through you 💕

I’ve known about Bisbee since I was a kid because my parents loved turquoise jewelry, and Bisbee turquoise is one of the most beautiful and most valuable (then and now), because it’s so rare.(the mine closed in 1980). Thanks for showing the town to us!

Hello Brian and Michelle! Great to see you back out west! I am heading to Des Moines to do a post annual maintenance check flight and then bring my boss back to Telluride. And, will have 2 separate trips there in March. Also, I do get to come to Phoenix the second and 4th week of March! I love these small towns out west! Lots of history….great scenery….and plenty of public lands surrounding them!

@scottcarter1992 4 ай бұрын

Another great video. Brian, I met you in a Las Vegas Costco a couple of years ago. I follow a number of full-time couples and have learned a lot about RV's when we got our travel trailer. We also motorcycle together and went on a five day ride to Tombstone, AZ with another couple. We came into Tombstone from the south, late in the day, and we just traveled through Bisbee. Once we got to Tombstone and realized how much of a mining town tourist extravaganza it was, I wished we had spent more time in Bisbee. This video was very interesting and now I need to go back and spend some time. ***FYI, we watch youtube almost exclusively on the TV and this is the first of many hundred of videos we have watched that I have commented on. Also, my wife is a midwest, Iowa, transplant. Thank you***

In 2007 while on a travelling nurse assignment in Phoenix I rode my Harley to Bisbee and stayed at the copper queen hotel… it was haunted big time!!! 😱😱😱😱 I went down in the mine tour…. I got soo spooked from the hotel that I swore I would never go back there but that peacan roll may draw me back there one day 😉👍

now ur in my neck of the woods. i live in whetstone...just a few miles from kartchner cavern. lol I know pretty much ur whole drive in this video. turquoise valley rv park was our very first overnight in our rv shakedown trip. we wanted to go to Bisbee queen mine rv park but they are always full. there was a fire on valentine's night that destroyed a couple businesses u most likely passed while u were here. so sad! historic old buildings. we moved here in 1974. just as they were getting ready to close the mine. any time we have out of town guests we usually plan a trip to tombstone and Bisbee. this area is steeped in old west history.

We were actually there before the fires. The buildings were actually shown in this video, showing it was prior to the fires. We were in Tucson watching the news when that happened. So sad. 😞

@patriciabarnhart1886 4 ай бұрын

Would you ever talk about your family budget works on the road? On 12/31 do you normally hit your targeted budget for the prior year? Do you budget for a certain number of miles each year even though you are a travel channel? I’m 79, and although I’m fine financially, my children laugh knowing that I still create an annual budget. If you can tell, I enjoy numbers, but also know that your followers who yearn to follow your pattern someday may find your loose financial journey helpful. Sadly, my husband passed in 2009, but gratefully we did our share of traveling in our youth and beyond whether we could clearly afford it at the time or not in the days before credit card use.
