I stopped by Cocos today but only his uncle was there. Coco is in Guerro Negro which I tried to find him this afternoon with no luck. I did just talk to him on the phone and will see him on Wednesday for lunch in Guerro, he is there for surgery on his leg. Will post more after I see him.

DK, you should try to refrain from replying to a post just to bust someones balls about their spelling....we all knew what he meant.....dt.

David K - 11-27-2010 at 11:02 PM

David, read my words above... no spelling errors mentioned.

Should I have also mis-spelled the town to please you? Come on amigo, we all know what is meant by New Yorc or Koko, too? Maybe Steve would like to spell the town in the place he loves correctly and was using short hand or has seen so many gringo guidebooks and posters here spell it 'Guerro', he thought that was correct... hmmmmm?

(Steve, no hard feelings... I was just responding with thanks for your post on our amigo, Coco... I like to learn about geography and place names are important to many.)

DK, you "thanked him for the update" before breaking his balls.....OK, I stand corrected, your reply was all about your concern for your good friend Coco.....please accept my apology for thinking anything different. I guess it was the bold lettering of the spelling of gurro nigro that threw me off.....dt

DK, I think you are being disingenuous. your bolding of town name is understood by me and most readers to be a pointing-out and correction of a mis-spelling.

David K - 11-28-2010 at 09:14 AM

Of course it was... so it wasn't overlooked.

The town name is the Spanish translation for a whaling ship called the 'Black Warrior'.... Guerrero Negro. Guerrero means Warrior.

I just post the place G. Negro.

Coco's Corner

Sweetwater - 11-28-2010 at 10:29 AM

My best to Coco.

And a bit of an intro for me. I was a chaser for a motorcycle team for the Baja 1000 and pre-ran the section from Gonzaga bay through the wash below Coco's Corner. I really enjoyed the Baja experience and I'm looking to return for an extended stay. 2 weeks just isn't enough, especially when the agenda is the race. I still work 4 days a month but have taken the 30 yr pension and I'm looking for new sites and adventures.

Here's a photo of Coco and me at his table:

Welcome to BajaNomad, Sweetwater. Don't mind David K. His panties are all bunched up after being broiled over on the Walk Baja thread. It takes him a while to wind down, but he's OK.

While I acknowledge my retentive traits, I believe proper spelling and grammar are important....unless you want to promote the dummying-down of our species...

Sure, we can often get the gist of it as my previous post indicates, but there is risk involved with the "fuzzy picture", as opposed to the one in focus.

An example of misinformation and bad spelling combined could lead someone astray if they were "new" to the topic:
(an excerpt from an off-road motorcycle forum [Thumpertalk] regarding Baja 1000 course):

"...The basic course Leaves Loreto and goes up over the Mountains to the San Gertrudes Misson on top, and down thru about a 100 Stream crossings to the highway to Insurgentes. Then out toward the cost and South. You can go out to Insurgentes, Or Ciudad Constatucion for gas or any of the smaller town South of there. You go South to Tomatate, which is about even with La Paz and then turn East over the mini Summit into La Paz...."

Yep, we get the picture if we know the area, but Santa Gertrudis Mission is a whole different trip out of Loreto....and San Javier is a long way from Santa Gertrudis....if the "San Gertrudis" name was the destination to a newbie, the info would be no p-nche good, would it?


David , careful to NOT post a map in response.....that seems to be how folks paint a target on your head:lol:

David K - 11-28-2010 at 01:05 PM

OK Ged... Got it: San Javier in the Sierra Gigante... Not Santa Gertrudis in the Sierra San Javier! :lol:;)

Welcome to the forum Sweetwater. Look forward to hearing more about your experiences...
