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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

No westerns,but they did have the Buffalo Soldiers out there in the early 1900's

Camp Lockett Army base in Campo (About 20 minutes west of McCain Valley) was the last home of the Buffalo Soldiers (All African American Calvary Regiment). They were used during WW2 to patrol the border with Mex in eastern SD County....

My 5 acres of paradise has old remnants (foundations) of the old Army camp.
 
The weather was perfect out there yesterday and so was the traction. The amount of other riders was also perfect; zero.

The new suspension was great too. Transformed my sloppy handling TE into a much tighter, more responsive handler. It felt much lighter than it actually is, and a lot easier to turn in the singletrack stuff and goes like mad over the whoop de doos instead of just falling into them.:D

SO...what you are telling me is that you are going to come back out on friday morning and we can hit some single track :D:D

There might even be snow by friday.....:D:D:D

And you can ride a TXC 250 :applause:

Been pretty much snowing/ice all day today on I-8 from Descanso to McCain..... :D

Should be some accumulation at McCain....Rob N and crew will be out manana for some trail antics :D

Haven't been able to enjoy this weather due to work :banghead:, but maybe Sunday morning for me....:thumbsup:

:cheers:
Mitch.
 
I plan on going out tomorrow morning. Think there will be much snow? I trashed my bike hauler on Wednesday:eek: and had to replace it. Don't want to hit another deep rut hidden in the snow and whack this one. I got a Wrangler, so I got the tranny and the tires for light snow. Don't know how the MT21s will like it.:excuseme:
 
Depends on what happens tonight, but I think the road in to McCain should be okay....Lots of water puddles for sure...

They are calling for snow flurries overnight out east....It was'nt sticking much east of Ribbonwood...

I'll send you a pm with my cell, so you can call me if you got any more ?'s.

Mitch.
