Shady Dell in Bisbee: A Pictorial Slideshow
The Shady Dell is a throwback to the mid-1900s when people hitched their travel trailers to their cars or trucks and headed west on historic Highway 80 which runs from Georgia to California. You can think of Hwy 80 as the southern brother road to the famous Route 66 to the north.
Today, you can reserve one of these Vintage beauties for a night or longer and even dine at the Dell’s famous Dot’s Diner and enjoy cocktails next door at Dashes Bar. In the Summer, Dot’s is open on weekends from 9 am to 2pm. The bar is open Fridays and Saturdays from 5 pm to 9 pm.
No cooking is allowed in these trailers but there is percolator coffee and some ancient record players and old Television sets. I would doubt if those work.
Reservations can be made by emailing reservations@theshadydell.com or calling (520) 432-3567. Their website has pictures of this vintage trailer park, including interior shots of the coaches.
Personally, I’d like to stay here one night this fall if I can convince Ms. Karen to join me.
You will find the Shady Dell in the Lowell district next to the Evergreen Cemetery.
