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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I've been there as a volunteer... but not to ride so much. I tend to gravitate to the Arrowhead trails.

How do like the 3n34 upto crab Flats, 1w12 , how about the 1w17 :lol:....

Camping @ big pine dualsporting is nice. Crab Flats is typically busy, could be nice place to stage.

If I get back in time from AZ I will swing by your camp :thumbsup:
 
I came out for the day.. I think I was at Cougar Buttes, however I dont know anyone. Rather than randomly approach anyones camp, I simply went out on my own... Covered a huge loop, many routes were plaqued with whoop after whoop. Fun day though.
 
We got more posts AFTER the event than before. I'm still learning this website. Def runs on a different mindset. Next time I'll show up a week after the event and then I'll have Husky riders to ride with ! :lol:
 
I rode past someone with a yellow and white land cruiser & husky near Anderson. Watched for riders on my way out, too. It was busy with Razors and other four wheelers. Stacy had me ride 10 miles of whoops, I'm over whoops now.

I think that was me.... driving a yellow/wht. FJ Cruiser, with the bike mounted on the back. Blond guy (really handsome :) ) confused looking, not sure where the hell I was headed. Next time I'll make a real effort to locate camp and connect.
 
JV has sand dunes... miles and miles of single track... rock gardens... nasty hill climbs... it has it all... no need to ride all the whooped out crap everyone else rides. My buddy was leading last weekend... and we were rolling through those big funky off timed whoops you speak of. I saw a line... imagined it in my mind... my handle bars took over... and we rode the next 35 miles without a whoop... carving around cactus and creasote bushes... as far as the eye could see.
Sometimes better riding just needs a fresh eye... or you can go find the 40 miles of flowing single track I left for you last week ! :applause:

Beware for those creosote bushes, I had to have one cut out of my arm once. Lost control it in the whoops about 8 years ago in JV, hit one head on, continued riding, Reached the top of the hill looked at my arm and piece went in about 6 inches and broke off. I was stabbed by a bush!:lol:

I have to say, as much as I dislike Whoops and fields of Rocks, after so many years and years of punishment by JV, We are lucky to have JV. Some entire states I learned @ google communities only have about 65 miles of Trails. :eek:

Yup, gave you the :thumbsup: as Stacy and I rode by you. We proceeded up to J238 where I fell over in some soft powder. Luckily a spiny cactus broke my fall. :eek: The sand up there was so fine that we had to push the KTM to get it out. I up-shifted on the Husky and blasted out of it no problem.
Creosote bush heaven out there. Ya know, Casselli (old prospectors m/c member) used to drain all the gas out of the bikes in camp and light all the creosote bushes on fire... *cough* but you didn't hear that from me... Hahaha
Prospector's camp was back at the second cougar buttes rock climbing hill about a mile up the road from the normal area. Lots of KTM's and Husabergs, only one Husky. :D

I wondered if perhaps you and she were from this forum. Sorry we didn't meet up.

Not knowing my way around and off exploring, I think I rode the Rockiest, whoopiest, shittiest areas that Johnson Valley offers. Glad to know there's hope of better riding out there.
