Bisbee is home of the Queen Copper Mine and we (Markkanen, Amy, Doug, Jobi, and I) decided to check it out. First, we had to gear up with bright yellow slickers, hard hats and lamps. Then we had to get on this very narrow train thing where everyone straddled a long seat on each cart. As we headed into the mine, the guide stopped a little way in to check on all of us. The tunnel is very narrow and it can be a bit freaky, especially after hearing all the news about the Utah mine collapse. I was actually worried about my sister getting claustrophobic, but as it turned out, her boyfriend was the one who skee-daddled off the train back to the main office for a refund, then promptly hit the bar. The tour was good, but the guide was a bit long winded and my sister expressed her "enthusiasm" by a facial experssion I've never seen on her before. By the end of the tour....the rest of us needed a drink and joined Doug at the bar!
