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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Danasan weir discovery ride

The weir location is not really the Danasan area but close enough. I've got to have a name for this place and Danasan is easy enough to remember and say and only across one ridge line.

Here are a couple pics on the way to the weir.

Along one of the roads I use heading west was a newly pushed short road to the top of hill. I had to blast up it and this fellow was up there drilling a water well (I guess). He was OK with the Husky stopping over for the view. I'll check back on his progress later.

Its impossible not to go by this ECO park along the way. Always a cool place to spend a little time. That 08 Husky just fits so well here...

Little grub at the park. These guys get a lot of mileage from the fat of the land here. Like the banana leaf. Its used from bike mud flaps, to over peoples heads for protection, to the food table.

Here's s few static shots of the Husky sitting on Hiway 101 on the way down into the valley. This is a landslide area and it looks like another landslide can happen again at any time so time was short there.

The weir. Looks like manual operation of one gate... Maybe someday I'll be on hand when it needs operation :) 100_0458.JPG

The name on that headstone looking sign on the right is the actual name of this area where the weir is at. See why I can't use the actual name? 100_0467.JPG

After crossing the river, I headed on west just verifying where this road went and a look at the area. Lots and lots of rugged mountain type roads there. 100_0469.JPG

That's Negros Island in the background. My Kodak Playsport just does not generate a good shot of distant images.

Thats the river in the valley I was just riding in...100_0474.JPG
 
Couple more pics of the area.
