• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

No huskys here but still had to report. Was a hot weekend for us at nearly 100 degrees and lots of humidity. instead of going to the national MX at Washougal this weekend I went dualsporting in the cool mountains. Was an epic 174 miles of great scenery and good times. hard to beat when you can leave and hit this stuff right from my house.

My ride (99 ATK 490 DS)

This area has some paved roads in the middle of no where. Very cool for railing on. this area is also hard to access because several washouts but passable on a bike making everything on the other side all ours to rip on.

What the heck? This is not growing out of the ground, it is placed there ??? This is on an old skid road that is now on the map as a adventure / DS route. unfortunately it needs cleared (chainsaw) so we needed to backtrack 15 miles after being within 2 miles of where we wanted to go.

More cool roads discovered though reroutes though...

Really fun day. A few years ago I kinda got in to DS. A first i thought it might be lame but I have been having a blast exploring. Actually can be more fun than real dirt bike riding on a hot nasty day where the trails will be scorching hot and super dusty.

Sitting here thinking how i can get back up there ASAP.

A lousy day will work just dandy also. A dirt bike can often turn a lousy day out into a great adventure.:D
 
Aww that's what weekends are made for.:thumbsup:

Did you see any other rider out play'n?

Good pics Kelly.

Thx for sharing.

:cheers:

Not one other bike (although i did see tracks on the dead end adventure trail) and only a few trucks with hikers in them. pretty much 150 miles of road with no one on them which is GREAT as you can hang it out on the roads and powerslide your ass off. Unless you hike or DS there is no real reason to be out there as most of it goes no where (perfect). The 20- plus miles of pavement to get here is all country / farm land. One stop light from my house and your all bliss.
 
What a nice ATK you have. Looks good as new. Your pics are always great. I have family up in WA and your pics make me want to take the truck and bikes next time I visit and find some good dirt up there. Looks like there is plenty of it. :thumbsup:
 
Nice stuff, Kelly!

Yeah, dualsporting is kind of my summer activity now. It's even better when there are swimming holes and/or hot springs along the way :thumbsup:

I would be traveling up I5 to Hwy101. I would be going right through Vancouver. That would be excellent to see some of that good WA dirt. I will have to see what I can do. :thumbsup:

nice swimming hole!!!
 
Kelly, I hate you for the rides you get to do. No, I love you man, you are just one lucky man to be in a beautiful part of the PNW. I'll be heading to Colorado in a couple of weeks to hook up with my nephew in Steamboat, and as many places in between. Should get some good riding in as I am taking the 450. Going to swing up and around through Utah and not sure. As long as the wife has something to do for the day my prospects are limitless. Aug 12th through the 31st.

Can park close enough to see the tail lights from the swimming hole.
