COCO'S CORNER

MEXICO DAY 3 Leaving San Felipe, we took the highway South until the asphalt dissolved into dirt. 15 miles into the dirt we came upon Coco's Corner. Coco is a bit of a Baja legend. He has a shack where he'll sell you a beer and tell you stories about the Baja 1000 race that passes his place. His yard his filled with a collection of retired baja bikes, old truck parts, and a thousand beer cans strung through the fencewire. He walks on pads attached to the place his knees were once located, and sleeps in a bunk outside his house, under the stars. We finished our day in Bahia de Los Angeles, a small sleepy town on the Sea of Cortez that still doesn't have a land line connection to civilization.
