Travel Talk With Slow Baja Remembering "Coco" Of Coco's Corner
from Slow Baja · host slow baja
RIP Jorge Enrique Corral Sandez. The Baja Icon, better known as "Coco," was found dead at his residence. For decades, a stop at Coco's Corner was a must for travelers heading south of San Felipe. Coco was the informal archivist of Baja's highway 5. He recorded every visitor in his guest registry. Every time we stopped, we would buy a beer, sign the book, and Ted would ask Coco about the road conditions. Coco inevitably would draw a map as he explained in detail the construction progress and the current state of the dirt sections. I recorded this podcast on July 9, 2021 Coco passed at his ranch, South of Gonzaga Bay, on August 30, 2022 Check out Coco's Facebook page here
