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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello all, I have a bunch of vacation saved up and need a break from reality. I plan on doing a multi day dual sport ride from my house in the foothills of California to Nevada and back. This ride would be done on the CHEAP and light. I will mount my Giant Loop bags on the 09 with a light sleeping bag and tarp for my tent.

The ride would consist of fairly easy fireroads and very little singletrack to so the ride would be easier for the bike (and Me) to finish without breaking something. Each day would be roughly 100-130 miles and start in Columbia to Mud Lake(Kirkwood) stay an extra day and explore, day 3 to Virginia City, day 4 Bodie/Lee Vining then thru Yosemite then thru Cherry Lake back to Twain Harte. I have a couple of friends that "say" they can do it, however they can be flakey at most times. I'm looking for a couple of compitent riders who want a great ride.

HUSKYS RULE:thumbsup:
 
Wish I lived in CA (that's my home state) to make the ride with you. It sounds great. Hope you get a large number of people to go.

I was just up on Squaw Ridge Sat and only made it to 7300 ft (before the gate) on the way to Mud Lake. With all the weird weather it could be mid July or later before the high trails open up.:excuseme:
Are you cooking in camp or riding out for meals?

I love Mud Lake and the surrounding terrain. Is the trials-ish area at the end of the lake still open for riding? It's been awhile since I've been there.

Hello WoodsChick and Uberkul,

I plan on leaving Aug 11th and return before Aug 18th. I plan on eating out while fueling up and bring snacks back to camp and have a little fire get warm. All of my secret camp sites are fairly close to a fuel/food stop. When at Topaz, I will rent a hotel room thou.

He must be; It is not your average garden variety gas station food.
