Coco


Just read a post on BD Outdoors that said that Coco from Coco's Corner passed away last week. Was planning on stopping by there to see him tomorrow and I'll find out if the post was greatly exaggerated but has anyone heard this?

You say that in past tense, seems that reports here are he is still present tense.

Baja is much more varied than the Coco archetype.

My two cents:
Drove by last Friday and thought it was somewhat unusual to see everything shut (Boarded) cause sometimes even if he is not there some of his friends keep the place open.

1:22 pm today, 'John M' just called me from San Felipe and was at Coco's today. Coco is very much alive, in John's words.
