Re-Painting the Hillcar With Gretchen



It is an amazingly beautiful day here in the tiny town of Bisbee. Temps in the high 70's, blue skies with wispy clouds, sultry and warm. I could not be indoors if I had to (which, fortunately, I didn't have to once I got off work at 10 this morning). 

So, Gretchen gave me a call and asked if I'd like to help her do some paint touch-up on the famous Hillcar. Hell yeah! Why not! I walked up the Gulch and we set out painting with small brushes and cans of highly toxic sign paint. Oh yeah...we're living dangerously now.

People regularly pull over to gaze and often photograph the Hillcar, which was kind of fun to observe from our vantage point. I really think Gretchen needs to put one of those metal boxes that are posted at "you've got to pay to use this park" places. People could drop their donations in the handy slot when they're photographing themselves next to the Hillcar so they can show their friends back home how much fun Bisbee is. And, Gretchen can continue to be the HCA Ambassador of Art that she does so well. (Well, that's what we think, anyway...and, I know we're right!)

  1. Sorry I got tied up with the roofing and did not make it back to help you and Gretchen redo the HillCar.... it would have been MUCH, MUCH more exciting!
