Coco from Coco's Corner has passed away. Coco, whose real name is Jorge Enrique Corral has been a Baja fixture for decades. He lived at Coco's Corner, which has long been a must stop to see his eclectic collection of toilets and broken television sets. Coco had a collection of guest books that contained signatures of travelers from all around the world. Coco was always full of advice and \u201cBaja knowledge.\u201d He spoke little English but could point you in the right direction of whatever you were looking for.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5504\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/CocosCornerToilets-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe original Coco\u2019s corner sat along a dusty road that connected small towns along the Sea of Cortez to Baja\u2019s main Highway 1. A new paved highway was built to extend Mexico Highway 5 to Highway 1. An effort was made to relocate Coco\u2019s Corner along the Highway, so travelers could still stop in and say and have a beer. Races including the Baja 1000 and NORRA Mexican 1000 have gone right past Coco\u2019s Corner. Coco offered camping on his property during the races and racers would use the location as a pit stop.","excerpt":"Sad news is being reported out of Baja.
