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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Camansi area valley & canyon

I was out exploring and trying to cut across another valley that lead me to this creek at the bottom of the valley in the Camansi AO ... I'm not 100% blocked from passage as there was one more path going across the creek that I did not ride out AND there is always the possibility of riding the creek out of there ... Google earth comes in handy in these cases when the tiles are not bad or cloud cover blocks the view ...

Along the way I took a couple pics ...

This is the creek at the bottom of the valley

A few more pics and a small video of the area and water flowing there ...


That's corn planted on that hill ... Apparently corn can grow about anywhere because I see it planted in places that look like 90% rock ..

The trail goes on to the left side of the creek as shown in the opening few seconds of the video and there is a guy on that hill side on the left side.
 
A little better pic of the farmer, and the small water fall.. I always feel a little strange inside when I end up in a hole-in-the-wall place like this ... Also, seeing a person working so hard to claw out a living, makes me feel good I that I busted my chops working with father each day as a farmer ...

I got back in this area a few weeks back and was amazed at the changes in the area ..

I also had a chance to check the path heading off behind that small tree on the left and it dead-ended ....

This is awesome!

It was a little spooky parking my bike along that cliff or what ever you wanna call it because it was really loose and crumbly looking once up to it ... That place is gonna fall off in the near future I'd guess ...This place is always on the change and very far from static ..
