I've rode through San Raphael once post Pancho. His place was locked up and no one was around. Pancho's passing has left such a large hole on that
route that I now take the San Borja road out to the Pacific and continue south.
One day I hope his story will be put on paper (or online). He deserves a place in the historical record of Baja.

It was very cool that the producers if the film Devil's Road honored him in their movie.

I keep intending to write about my time with Pancho. Hopefully over summer.
Briefly, we first met in 1997 or so. I have so many fond memories of him. He celebrated my engagement, the birth of my two kids, and many other
special moments. My daughter still sleeps with a stuffed animal that Pancho gave her.
We have a picture of him holding both our kids at our place in Bahia Asuncion. He'll always be a part of our family.

So let’s see the picture, that would be quite fitting.

We stopped in there a couple days after New Years on our way back up the coast. Didn't talk to anyone but Francisco's wife waved to me from inside the
house but didn't see Francisco. Couple fishermen on the beach working on a boat and the palapa on the north end is gone. Place looks very clean and
well kept.
In February I plan on a trip there for 5 or 6 days to hang out and fish and look at the stars, been too long since I've stayed there.

Please let the new Pancho (Francisco) and wife know about how popular and hospitable the late Pancho was. That they can capitalize on what Pancho
created there.

Oh they knew him well, they lived over at the rancho just north of the beach there. I met them several years back when Pancho and I went over there
for something or another.

Oh yes, I know they knew him... They just may not know how us 'turistas' on the Internet (and in person) appreciated him and admired him. If the new
people there welcome visitors and provide what Pancho did, it could be beneficial to them as much as us visitors.

Two years and a couple weeks but yeah, how time flies. After a trip to Shell Island this past Sunday I have the bug to go camp on the beach.
I want to load up the GF and sneak south in the next few weeks but not sure that is prudent right now. Not sure if Bahia is allowing anyone in either.
Like to see if Coco is alright as well.

Bajazly, I stopped there on my way north about March 1st. It appeared to me that Poncho's place was a hang out for construction
workers. There were several pieces of heavy equipment parked above his area, and the guys looked like they were dressed more for construction than
fishing.
There were several fisherman's campsites on, and near the beach, and boats on the beach, so it was a busy place. I did not stay there.
If you do head south, please do check on Coco. There was damned little traffic by his place before the Covid19 shutdown, and even
the road construction workers were gone.
I thought I would be back down there by mid June, but that ain't happening!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Will do AK, been a while since I've seen him and he always makes me laugh.
The heavy equipment has been there for probably almost two years now but I've never seen the crew there. The fishermen come and go but I usually see a
few mulling about. It will be nice to hang out there again albeit probably alone
