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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I was the only one from my other 3 friends to take a bike. I left my truck at Fri's camping spot. There were a total of 5 off road cars and me. We camped at 8k ft on Sat so I rode the bike for over 75miles off road. My friends carried my tend and the gear.
Trekgeist is my friend and he is not a guide but he takes a great pics.
Here is a pic of my support crew

I was a lot faster than the cars but I did not mind some rest. 12k ft kicked my butt. I got stuck once as the bike kept on digging in. I also crashed a few times. I was sent out on missions like finding the trail or a camping spot.
A friend with FJ had a refrigerator and supplied me with cold Red-Bull 
The bike did great. I have a jet kit and Leo pipe. I had no problems with jetting at all. However I will need a new tire

From the link above:
Mt. Patterson and the Sweetwater Range
Mt. Patterson is the high point of the Sweetwater Range, a somewhat overlooked but quite scenic and interesting neighbor of the larger and more heavily visited Sierra Nevada Range. Situated east of the Sierra Nevada and north of Bridgeport in the western edge of the Great Basin, the Sweetwater Range divides the West and East forks of the Walker River and straddles the California-Nevada border.
El Diablo,
How do you like the Garmin Zumo? Is it a 450 or 550? If you lost it would you buy it again or go with another brand/model? I'm looking for a GPS for my 2008 TE-510 and the Zumo 550 with a Blue tooth phone is currently my first choice.

It is Zumo 550 and I got it 2 years ago when it first came out. I have battery cables on both motorcycles and use it a lot. I don't use the sound but sometimes I hook up a blue tooth to just see what calls I missed on my cell. Recently I purchased Topo 24K maps for $90 that came on the SD card. I had it set up for off road and it would not route me on trails. When I changed the setting this thing was perfect. It would show you off-road trails that many books did not even have. If my Garmin got stolen I would immediately purchase one more...I don't use the music/traffic/BT options so 550 is a little overkill. Also Garmin support is a the best.
One more thing, Garmin finally partnered with mad Maps and now you can download them directly from their site. This gives you all scenic routes for your on-road trips.
