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?!??



:?:


Sure it is on maps... on Mexican made maps it is listed as 'Esquina de Coco' even though Coco doesn't call it that (Coco's Corner, in Spanish).

Let's see if this image I have of the 2003-2007 AAA map shows it clearly... it is just below the drawn in arrow (pointing out the La Turquesa shortcut opened by The squarecircle in his Land Rover with help from TW and others)...

Glad to help! Here's one more... 2008 Nat'l Geographic Baja Map (1st edition) close up on Coco's Corner (shown for educational purposes only):



There were several errors on this 1st edition that were corrected with a second printing... Coco's is still shown.

Coco gets a haircut


Coco is a Baja legend and always seems to be in a good mood, despite all of the bad luck that has fallen his way.

A photo of Coco getting a haircut, a map of Coco's Corner and a bit more about him can be found at www.bajaexpo.com/coco.htm

It's worth the short detour off of the Transpeninsular Highway to stop by, say hello and check out his compound.
