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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

PNW Husky event. Bend, OR. Oct. 15-16, 2010

ummm, I just started reading this thread, just lucky I saw this.

It appears that PC seems to be organizing this thing as much as anyone. Probably the best approach would be to stick this thread and he can update the first post as needed. If he does not want to do that you could edit your post #2.

Sound ok?

edit: why don't you fine people use the calendar with a link to this thread? Then it will show up at the bottom of the screen in the upcoming events.

So how many miles is this event (and in which direction) from Bend OR?

I will edit the link if needed. Thanks!

This event is approx. 20 miles east of Bend, OR off Hwy 20.


This is coming together nicely :cool:

Oh yeah. He loves that bike.

I figured you were from BDS when I saw that pic from the Ridge. Especially since I knew Rooster, Shane and Ken teamed up with some folks from BDS.
Small world!

I'm sure he'll be rolling down with me in Oct. Hope to see you there

Good idea Dean.

Calendar .. is there a calendar? ... I'll be danged there is.

We need to designate a camping/gathering area. Ive never camped out there so not sure which one is best.

I am booked in on Thursday night. :applause: Thanks Dirtsucker. Anyone want to show a slow old guy some riding on Friday? Sounds like a great group ride. I will be at the back trying to stay on the right trail. Probably will be my first days off in about 3 months.:banghead: Can't wait to meet all the Oregon and Washington guys and shake Bill's hand for being a great dealer.

PS, I hope to have my 167 along for everyone to try. It is so much fun I keep waiting for it to disintigrate. The Mahle piston is amazingly hard but the cylinder is pretty thin.

I am planning on going over on Thursday unless something comes up at work.

Um... the hint was to have one of you find upstanding members with good organizational qualities put it on the calender.

I went ahead and put it on there. :)
 
Since we have a XC race there the next weekend, looks like some of us from Southern Oregon we head over with the toyhauler and hang out. :cheers:

You know it.
I'll be rolling down Thursday night (late) and ready for a Friday morning desert rip :thumbsup:



Any preference on camp spots?
I like camp II (a little more off the beaten path and in the tree line/shaded), but not sure it'll be large enough or easy enough to find for the uninitiated.

Can't wait to get out there and twist some throttle again!

Hwy 97 South (about a half mile south of the Wal Mart)
East on 18/China Hat/Arnold Ice Cave road (you cant turn left onto China Hat when southbound on 97; continue south to next exit, go east and the road curves back around and intersects China Hat road, then turn right to go SE towards the OHV area)
Continue about 26 miles ...
About half a mile after crossing the 1835 road, turn left (on 620?) and proceed 1/2 mile to the Camp II area..

If my combination of OHV maps and Google Maps are correct.

Nice work!

I'll be coming in from the North off hwy 20 and I will post up signs (unless someone gets there before me and does it) to camp II.

here's the GPS coords for camp II from my Garmin: N43 46.081 W121 03.207
 
BTW sent an Email off to Les at LTR and Jeff (Les' buddy who runs Gasgas.org) and they might be in as well. :thumbsup:
 
Has anyone considered the advantages of staging at the south end of the plateau that you access through LaPine? Easier access for those who need a hotel,the camping atmosphere is much better do to the denser trees and most of the better trails are in the south end.

that looks better

PC do you come off 20 to get there or come all the way out 18 (china hat rd)? I know you can get there ether way just wondered what was EZer

I come in off Hwy 20 as I always stop in Prineville to fill the RV water tank. If I'm not bringing the RV then I'll drive through Santiam to get some scenery.

I personally like the idea, but bost of the people I travel with seem to like the more open staging areas so they can keep an eye on the kids. Especially camp II since there's a kids loop built right next to it.

I personally dont care, so if anyone else has a preference then speak up. I'll camp anywhere as long as there's trails, fire pits and cold beers for after the ride :cheers:
