It’s a 2006 “Street Bob” Dyna with a load of extras, one owner, with only 8,200 miles on it. “Whoa!” you say. “What’s the catch here?” you ask. The catch is there’s going to be 499 other people who want the bike also, and they are willing to put up their $25 for a chance to get this bike because there are only 499 other people who are going to have a chance at this beautiful Harley.
Are you thinking about an experience you’ve had in Rocky Point that would be fun to share and the only thing holding you back is that the closest you’ve come to writing about one of your vacations was on a postcard to Aunt Emma in Evansville? The biggest difference between writing a travel article and what you wrote on that postcard is that in a travel article you’re not confined to that small space, you can use your computer instead of a pen and you can take the time to express the true essence of the experience you tried to convey to Aunt Emma in 20 words and a photo.
Have you started writing about that great memory you have of your last visit to Rocky Point? Or even the memory of your first visit? Whatever it’s about, remember if it was a great experience for you, it will probably be enjoyed by those who read it also. So don’t sit on it. Go ahead and get it in to us while we have time to evaluate it before the rush of entries prevent us from taking the time to offer any edit suggestions that might just separate your story from the crowd.
Our hot August night skies are seared with serendipity in this year of 2012. We have the good fortune of gazing up into a full moon twice in this same month; an event that only occurs every two –three years. Friday August 31, 2012 will mark the second full moon of this month. Check our blog https://www.sonoranresorts.mx/?p=5682 for details on this. You don’t have to wait until the 31st to see a spectacular event in the August night sky, however. The annual Perseid meteor shower begins its most illustrious sequence in the wee hours of Saturday August 11 through Monday August 13.
Even though you won’t be able to submit your travel article on “Why I Love Rocky Point” until one minute after midnight tonight, we want to give you access to the finalized Rules for entering the contest, including final details on the three prizes, and other good stuff to get your creative juices flowing in case you haven’t completed your literary masterpiece.
Most have heard an expression of something like, “Oh, that only happens once in a Blue Moon,” or something similar. Well, if you’ve been waiting for a Blue Moon you’ve got less than a month to wait. Because on the night of August 31st above the glowing Sea of Cortez off the sandy beaches of Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico and the rest of the world, there will be one.
We’ve received so many positive responses to our announcements about the Sonoran Resorts “Why I Love Rocky Point” Best Job in the World Travel Writing Contest that we know this is going to be an exciting adventure for everyone involved!
Although identified by some taxonomists with the bird family of hawks (Falconiformes), Ospreys are quite different in their taxonomy; so different in fact, that they’ve been assigned their own species (Pandion Haliaetus). Even though it does resemble a Hawk or small Eagle from a distance and is sometimes referred to as “Sea Hawk”, “Fish Hawk” or “Fish Eagle”, the Osprey is none of those, and wouldn’t approve of that comparison either because it is a much more skilled angler than those birds. And you can watch them everyday on Sandy Beach in front of the Sonoran Spa and Sonoran Sea Condominium Resorts in Rocky Point, Sonora, Mexico where all these photos were taken.
You know the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Well, our new Sonoran Resorts Travel Writing Contest is about the “thousand words” because sometimes painting a picture with a thousand words is at least as effective at conveying the emotion, details and even the color, when it’s about a destination that you love. That’s because, with words, you can emphasize the story behind the beauty of a destination like Rocky Point.
If you couldn’t make it out Friday the 20th of July to the first fundraiser held for Puerto Peñasco’s new wheel chair basketball team, Los Rolling Rockies, you missed a picture-perfect evening of fun…
