Coco needs help
I spent most of the day with Coco yesterday and brought him a bunch of supplies which were very much needed. He is doing well and has a helper living
at his compound. Coco has to pay him a small amount of money each week. Traffic has been very slow and his sales of beer and pop have been almost
nothing. For what ever reason Coco’s social security has not been coming through since his last surgery. He is starting to get his compound back in
shape but needs a lot of help. Items needed are caned food, two 12v batteries, 12V lights LED would be nice, wiring for lights, used carpet for
outside under his roof, building supplies of all types, wind screens, 12v inverter, solar panels and so on. He is a great guy and helps a lot of us
nomads. He also will need to go back in for more surgery in order to use his new legs; he hopes this will be soon. You can u2u me if you want more
info.

At "Coco's Corner"
About 20 miles east of the north end of Chapala Dry Lake, on at a dirt road intersection, hence the name. It is also maybe 30 miles south and west of
Gonzaga Bay.

I have a 700 watts inverter, if somebody is going that way, they can pick it up in my house or I can deliver in the San Diego area.

DK,
I spotted Coco's Corner on a map recently and I thought it was one you posted in one of your threads. I've been searching the forum of half an hour
and can't find the posts!
I remember I mentioned it, and you said something about it must be a "recent" map and I agreed....
I'm betting a $5 donation to BajaDogs you have a map showing it, so maybe you could post the map showing Coco's Corner?!??

Coco,
A Baja legend, an off-roaders oasis, a strong-spirited man, a gentle spirit...
A previous effort (one of many) to help him last year:

Mexicorn-
Just from what I have learned on internet posts....
A well-respected man and local/international legend, who has diabetes and lost both his legs, is going through a prosthesis-fitting process, was away
from his home-at-a-crossroads for a while and many things got stolen.
Northern Baja, likes pretty ladies, and something about baseball caps?!?
Those with firsthand info, please share...

I'm not sure about the baseball caps, but the guy has an incredible collection of women's panties hanging from the rafters. He's very proud of his
"museum."
