Coco's Relocating
I heard through the grapevine from a moto buddy that Coco is relocating to a new location closer to the new highway. Does anybody here have details on
where he is moving to?
I like to explore remote dirt tracks and beaches.

Interesting... When I brought up the lack of traffic once the new route was open, Coco said he welcomed the peace and quiet as he did not like all the
semi-trucks.

Please note the Kilometer marker or how far past a marker where the old road to Coco's leaves the new hwy. Thank you!

A little sad news in Baja. Coco's has to relocate 8km away on the highway. He is taking down all the memorabilia and will rebuild. With the new
highway no one stops by anymore... at 80 something...not easy .

How is stumpy going to move all that carnival of chit to a new location?
Stumpy needs to get busy and fleece a few more off-roaders to pay for the move.
One of you fools going to start a gofundme for stumpy?
Woke!

Not cool to call a double amputee "stumpy".
How would you feel if you lost an eye and your critics called you "Cyclops".....
It's a technique bullies use all the time, to hurl insulting nicknames at their victim.

Call me anything you want, just don’t call me late for dinner!
Actually, I admire stumpy for his great ability to fleece off-roaders, lightening them of their pocket money and stained panties. More power to him.
Did you start up a collection for stumpy?

I guess this is Goat's idea of "Making America Decent Again?"
"Deplorable" seems to cover both sides of the spectrum.

Coco is a squatter. He will do the same next to the hwy. No big deal.

Coco is harmless.
Always happy to hand him a buck for a cold Pacifico
(even though we have a cooler full of them in the truck)
He is an icon
He is our modern version of the old guy who used to "fix" the road over the "Sisters" Every time he saw a cloud of dust approaching he would jump up
and push his shovel around. And we always gave him change. Just part of "The Real Baja"
And the one who calls names has never been there, never met the man
Typical trash from the "Keyboard Kowboy"

Same here, as he is an icon of local history and entertainment. I am not sure he will do so well by moving to the highway... People who zoom by on
pavement are not the same as those on a dirt road ("Bad roads bring good people").
Below, is a photo from the 1960s from an old book of a fellow who maintained the road south of Puertecitos, working only for donations. We drove by
the wheel barrel a couple of times and never saw him...

Bad roads, and good roadds...bring all kinds of people. Remember when Coco help the guys jeep (roll over accident) hostage for mordida?
Maybe the pavement will present a few more opportunities.

I've been through Coco's Corner 6-8X and I swear, he's had a different story every time about someone taking money from him.

Coco is all about storytelling...
In 2012, we stopped to visit and a couple in a Jeep wanted to go to the Calamajué mission then south to Hwy. 1.
Coco told them the water in the arroyo was too deep and he couldn't be responsible for them. I had just read a trip report on Nomad (from Baja
Tripper) who just went through there... said the water was the lowest he had ever seen. I was going that way, no matter what was reported... and I
told the couple in the Jeep they could travel with us.
We saw the mission site then had an easy drive in the canyon, Baja Tripper was right, not much water at all. This was in July 2012.
I returned in 2016, and the water level was still very low, and it was in September.
Here's a few photos from 2012...
Coco gets a hug from Baja Angel.
The edge of Arroyo Calamajué at the gold mill ruins.
The mission church (adobe wall outline), across the arroyo from the gold mill.
The deepest water in the canyon!
The couple in the Jeep were so happy we came along so they could enjoy this route!

I remember him when he was a barker at the BumBum club in the late 50's.

OK
I'm from Coronado and very old. I joined this forum just to observe, I guess I should have kept my mouth shut. What I said is factual, Just ask Tom
Carlin or Desh. This is really silly, I know more about Mexico than 75% of you guys combined. ADIOS motherflockers.
