• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Baumgartner ID

This is one of the best places in the US to ride -- If you are looking for directions you can google "Baumgartner Campground" or type in Featherville, Idaho and that will get you close. Camping is super abundant and there are trails all the way from beginner to gnarly. One of my favorite rides is to go from camp to Smiley Creek Lodge [which is over the mountains on the highway between Sun Valley and Stanley]. During the summer they are open and have fantastic burgers and shakes. The ride back is tough on a full belly though!!! We usually gas up at the lodge and ride back for about a 100 mile day. Its an epic ride.

If you are looking to go -- I would love to camp and hang out.
 
Well, the trail riding in the area East/Northest of Baumgartner is going to different now for years to come.
The Trinity Ridge fire has burned a lot of area, and no telling how much more will be lost before it's over.........which according to what relatives I have that live in the area and now working with fire support staff, are being told, could be into October.

Hmmm.....

I was talking to Bill at BMP the other day and I think we are going to go ahead and do NW Gathering #3 at China Hat in early November. Maybe if we go a couple of weeks later we can catch some moisture.
