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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The Chick And The Dame Ride Kennedy Meadows

Wow, riding with one other rider who is shutterbug sure has it's advantages. I had my own personal guide and photographer.:D:thumbsup:

I'll have to get more shots next time, but that means that I'll have to go faster!:doh:

Argh! I forgot there was a third shooter! Eric from the grassy knoll. :)
 
Darn it! You found Walnut Grove! Great report. Don't know exactly where you were compared to where we used to camp, ride horses and fish 35+ years ago. That's where they did a lot filming for Little House on the Prairie. I do remember(as a young boy) on a few occasions seeing the film crew trucks coming and going and wondering if Michael Landon, Half Pint and the crew were close behind!
 
I could look at this report and the pictures over and over (and probably will).:busted:

Now the KDX is washed, serviced and the carb and gas tank are emptied, the bike rolled away till October 1st, which is the next legal time that I can actually ride it down here in my local area.:thumbsdown:

Next year I will bring a warmer sleeping bag. The one I took is supposed to be good down to 20 degrees, but no such luck. I'll bring a foam pad for better insulation below me, too.

I'll bring a bigger can of gas....and maybe a bigger gas tank on the bike.

And last but not least, I'll be sure to bring the fly rod.:thumbsup:

Woo hoo, can't wait for next year!:applause:
 
Totally awesome!

I need to start bringing a digicam when I ride. You caught some sweet moments in time.
 
Kennedy/Troy Meadows is open to riding red or green sticker offroad motorcycles whenever there isn't snow and then it's open for snowmobiling when there is snow. It's down here in my area that everything is green sticker only all year round and red sticker from Oct 1st to April 31st. It's one of those cute enviroMENTAL regulations we have here in the state of California. To simplify things, all bikes both two and four stroke that are 2002 models or older qualify for a green sticker, while all 2003 and up two stroke models and closed circuit four stroke models that don't meet the new C.A.R.B. emission standards are red sticker only and subject to being banned in various public riding areas at various times of the year. The bike that I rode at Troy Meadows missed being green sticker by just one year model.
 
Excellent RR as usual you 2 dirt chika's. :thumbsup: Great pics of the beautiful area and trails.

Not being toasty warm when you are sleeping is a downer. The bright side of it is it gets you out of bed as soon as the sun comes up because you are to chilly to sleep in. :doh: A zero degree sleeping bag is a necessity imo. That or a 6 pack of IPA before bed. That is OK when camping, right? :busted:

I admire you for taking the time to take so many great photos:thumbsup:

Thanks, Looks like Woodschick is an even bigger shutterbug than I am.

How you get big pictures like that is to get a free account at Photobucket or some other photo hosting site, then upload your pictures to there at the size we used which is 1024X786 or something about that ratio anyway. It's the size of a 17 inch monitor screen. Then you can add the pictures from there and not use up any bandwidth on the CH forum.:D
 
Makes me want to ditch work for the rest of summer and ride everyday.

Great photos Woodschick and input on what looks like a beautiful area to ride and just take in the scenery!
