Living in Bisbee, Arizona, a small town 30 miles from the International Border (Mexico). Came to Fort Huachuca in 1978, moved to Bisbee in 1984 and never left. Bisbee is a small town of just under 5,000 people. However, we are only about 30 miles east of Sierra Vista, Fort Huachuca, and 30 miles northwest from Douglas, about 30 miles south of Tombstone. Lots of things to do in this area of Arizona, history, hiking, bicycling, nature, birding, Bisbee is one mile high, so temperatures are more pleasant in the summer, however a few degrees cooler in the winter than Tucson or Phoenix..
