Such children...

This was stated: "We love Gonzaga Bay and have never, and probably never will stop at Coco's Corner---met him once at Alphonsina's <sic> and didn't care much for the man---We know, that is like "attacking" a legend---just our opinion."

Which is fine... this board is to share observations about Baja. I could care less about what someone does with a sticker. I am not upset with jdtrotter, only disappointed that they don't think Nomad friendship is worth the time to clarify an obvious misunderstanding.

My opinion or observation about Coco is that he is a person who brings a lot more smiles to Baja travelers than others. Just so the newbies don't get just a bad impression of him is why I offered an other point of view.

Minnow, Coco offered free camping in his compound only to find a mess left by the off road racing spectators who stayed there. Coco has one leg as you know, and cleaning up after the healthy race fanatics was no fun.

So, the next time the 1000 passed his way, he decided to charge to camp in his camp area (like any other tourist area does)... Why is that hard to understand?

Is there anyone besides you who thinks Coco 'mines' the road to make tires go flat? He doesn't have a flat repair business... Laguna Chapala is 18 miles away and two places there fix flats.

It really doesn't matter what I say though, to you two, does it? :lol: :lol: :lol:

I see it as a faster way to hwy 1 south rather than driving the pacific side. thru all the little towns and farming country.From Ensenada to El Rosario is getting more and more like one town. I don't mind the road as is but paving would make it easier with less wear and tear on the vehicle. I guess SCORE will use the pacific side when they go to La Paz, sorry San Felipe. San Felipe may never see another SCORE race.

I also noticed it said the two lane pavement would be 7 meters wide. That's over 21 feet or more that 10.5 feet per lane. That will be a big improvement.

You are amazing. Because some people don't agree with you, you can't resist the name calling.

Yes, you and others seem to like Coco, and that is your business---we just found him obnoxious and think he has a real scam going---no one needs to agree with that, and we are quite sure that any "newbie"or other Baja traveler will make up their own mind about him------We never stopped there before we met him for lots of reasons.

Nomad friendship ...


Ok, so just what the hell is Nomad friendship? Aside from the folks I've met personally, everyone else is a post (sometimes MANY posts) on the Internet. Don't know about you, but friendship is more than that to me. But, to each his own, I guess.
