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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Well kind of since there is no way you can ride a motorcycle down the Grand Canyon on Federal land. I figured at least I would take by Husky pac for a ride down and back.Had a great trip in Grand Canyon National Park. Took the Bright angle Trail down to the bottom had lunch and then hiked back up total time 8 hours about 16 miles you start at about 7 thousand feet and hike down to the river a 5000 foot drop Sure would be a great King of the Moto Trail

You are getting that high altitude (thin air) training effect up there! Ain't much better than that ...

What kind of mileage are you getting out of that Husky? :)

well on this trip we got about 16 miles to the gallon Which was 2 quarts Gatorade 1 quart water and 1quart pedolight
Was on empty at the top, we only averaged 2 miles per hour to. time to change that gearing
 
That beach looks like heaven, ajaxauto! :applause:

You should consider hiking the trail from Hualapai Hilltop down to the Havasupai village and beyond to the waterfalls. It is incredibly spectacular! I think it's about 10 miles to the village and then another 2 or so to the falls. It's the last place in the US to still get their mail delivered on the backs of mules. I've got some photos around here somewhere...

Hiking and walking "off road" is awesome. I've been doing a lot of that the past 2 years. Great exercise and a lot of fun, too. It's helped me drop a ton of weight and it makes everything feel good...knees, ankles, hip...everything that used to hurt before just doesn't hurt anymore! I will probably do more hiking as the years go on, too.

Perfect response. I love it. Wish my knees were still up to hiking. No inner miniscus left
