Travel Challenge Revealed May 2009
This month’s challenge was a fun one—everyone who guessed got it right! Thanks to everyone who took a shot at it. And the winner is…Rich, who was the first to correctly identify our mystery critter as a Cactus Wren.
I know two things about Cactus Wrens: one, they are the largest wren in North America; and two, they are notoriously active (and mischievous). We watched this one at Sweetwater Wetlands in Tucson for about 10 minutes—during which time it took a dust bath, rooted around for insects on a mesquite tree, and finally settled in to preen. Never once did he sit still.


How about updated articles about RV’n in Sonora. The article you have is 2005. . .? i would really like to see new articles about staying in San Carlos or Kino Bay, etc. La Paz in a RV. I am interested to live (retire) in a RV there. Thanks.
We’d love to write more about spending time in Sonora but we haven’t been there in a few years, Chuck. We only relate our adventures as we experience them…
There are plenty of people who retire down there for at least part of the year, I’m sure you would enjoy it.
Happy retirement!
