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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anybody planning to ride the Alpine Loop or any nearby trails this summer? Several friends and I have ridden there the past two years and had a ball. Trails are 4WD but fun if ridden at a good clip. The main loop is 60+- miles and full of ATVs and Jeeps just creaping along. No worries though because the trail usually has plenty of room to pass. Passing those Jeeps and ATVs makes you feel like you are really flying.

Branching off the main loop are literally 100s of other trails that usually dead end at an old mining site. Sometimes there is what's left of the machinery from the 19th century operation and somtimes there is nothing but the end of the road.

The loop goes over two passes above 12,000 feet so if you go, take a jacket!
