The crosses of Bisbee

I took Wolfie on a three-mile walk down my street in the late morning.  He does so well on-leash when it' just me and him.  He only pulls when he sees other dogs.  But I also had other plans with the dogs today

I had originally planned on driving to Tucson, but my low tire pressure light came on when I started the car. Since walking up to the shrines was on this week's bucket list anyway, I opted for the shorter drive. I took Hansel.

I should have driven to Bisbee an hour earlier, though, as the sun was already behind the mountains when I reached the crosses. I was too late for the golden moment.

I didn't stay on the hill top for long as I knew the way down would be steep and rocky. I stayed only long enough to see the street lights come on.

We followed a faint footppath that went down along the big white "B." We made it down back to the Gulch as darkness set in. Tourists were already leaving and the town was quiet. We walked to the lighted peace sign back to the Honda

The hike was 2.9 miles.  Only 1.2 miles was to the crosses and "B."  The rest was walking the dark streets looking at landmarks lighted up.  It gives the town a whole new character.  I even found Earl's Cafe!
