Well, tell us some Coco stories, then. Could they possibly be better than the ones we have read here?

I agree. If you're that easily offended by a one word comment made by a pretty amiable member of the forum, then it's probably your mistake by not
remaining a lurker. Forums are a place for free speech, with few limits. Thin skin may be hazardous.
Take up bird watching, that's where you can really use your powers of observation.

LOL--------I too am from Coronado, very old, and have known "Desh" and "Tom Carlin" (and Vince) since the '50's. I believe you, but I bet I can
match your knowledge of Baja! LOL This forum can be a little rough, but there are nuggets of wisdom from time to time. Don't leave??? Of
course I am very curious about who you are.

Your name dropping did not work — those names mean nothing to me!
Your CV is incomplete, please address following deficiencies:
Do you own a toyota tacoma? If you dont have a toyota tacoma, please justify your vehicle choice (and dis the tacoma while doing so)
Have you posted pics of your dog?
What air pressure do you run your tires off pavement?
Woke!

Thanks David for the Facebook link correction.
I think it's pitiful that some who have plenty (relatively speaking) come down hard on a guy that makes his living by whatever means is available to
him There is no welfare system (as far as I know) in Mexico to financially support those who are unable to work due to age or illness.
Not a big deal in my mind to watch and listen to him spin a yarn, whether it be "someone stole money from me" or wrong advice on a particular section
of road. I have found him to be a Baja icon and take his stories with a grain of salt. I've also dropped stuff off for him and his cats, started a
conversation here of him needing batteries for his solar system which proved productive, dropped $20 or more for a coke or a beer every time I'm/we're
through there.
Moving out to the new highway will be a challenge for this old guy... expect more stories of his stuff being ripped off, and I'll bet the majority of
the stories will be true.
I'm not one to give money to the vagrants standing on the corner, begging for gas money or food money...... they look capable of picking up a shovel
and working for an honest days pay,..... but Coco has struck a cord in my heart. His demeanour and stories are his way of finding a way to put food
on his table, which doesn't hurt anyone. He isn't a blood sucking leech in our society. I'll continue to stop in, say Hi, listen to his stories and
leave a generous contribution to help him out.
When it's time for him to make the final move in years to come, I'll certainly miss the old fart.

I am guessing he is 81 or 82 this year? I am really surprised he is moving. When John M, TMW, ElComandanteLoco (the gang) get back, we will have the
details!
Here's some favorite photos from Nov. 2006:

And it seems odd to complain about a 20p cold beer after 3 hours of hot dust when 5p for 3 sheets of toilet paper is common on the mainland

The photo above is an indication of someone who really has their head screwed on right. Along with all the ladies who donated.

"Cocos Corner Truck Fund"
Coco has said the new truck that was given to him on the first Go-fund-me is a gas guzzler and he could not afford the gas.
I would thing the simpler solution (rather than another new truck) would be a go-fund-me for a gas ONLY credit card.......
MUCH less money and it solves the problem..
I see the only $670 has been raised and $5,000 is what is wanted.
And it's been going since July 1st.
NOT vary good. I think must people that donated for the first truck are done with it, I know I am...
But I may donate for a GAS fund...
Since I've given up all hope, I feel much better

Moving or not moving
When we talked with Coco on Nov 7 he said he still hasn't decided whether to move or not. If he moves it may be along the new roadway around Km 179
(in the area of Las Arrastras) where an acquaintance of his has offered a place for him to set up.
Nothing certain.
