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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
WA folks-Anyone willing to show me around some single track?

Sorry... just saw this. I usually stage from the south since I'm in the Portland area, but I'm planning on camping at Cat Creek campground.
BUT that is entirely dependent on if the FS lifts the no-use fire ban by then

IF any rides the 294 trail in GPNF, Randal WA area, send out a pic or video ... That was one gnarly steep uphill ... We used it as a qualifier trail ... You had to ride it each new riding season before you were qualified to ride GPNF ...

Place was snow free there prolly by April-ish this year. We had so little snow last winter and then it warmed up and quickly. June was HOT. GPNF shut down due to fire concerns (irrational fear of a hot header in dry grass off the side of a trail).

July 25th I'm riding Northridge area of Taneum if you'd like to go. Looks like just a day trip. Doing Smugglers Run Poker Run at Capitol Forest on August 15. Welcome to join either day.

This looks like it is just happening

Gotta be weird to have no snow up in GPNF as early as APR ... We'd be up then MID July and the creeks in the lower attitudes would be gusting full of water from the melts in the higher grounds ... Might be dust city up there now.

Hey Shrub. Sorry I missed you. been traveling for work and just saw your post. I actually rode North Ridge/ cliffy to quarts and then down and back around to little creek last weekend with another buddy on Sunday. I rode out of Greenwater over to Nachez on Sat. I have to head out of town next week for a tradeshow, so the next 2 weekends I am not able to ride
. But it would be great to get out and burn some gas together. I will PM you when I get back. And, did you also own a yz 250 by chance? I had one for a while and there was a guy on Thumpertalk that I was talking to over lighting for that bike and I am wondering if that was you. That would be a crazy coincidence. Anyway, thanks for the invite. Sorry I missed it.

Ha! I bet that was you on that forum too.... Small world. I will drop you a line in a few weeks or so when my schedule settles down a bit and hopefully we can get out. Have a good one!

I can't believe it says you can have a campfire but not ride a dirt bike. I know a lot of forest fires come from camp fires but have never seen one from a dirt bike. It is a lot like saying go ahead and play with matches and gasoline but put the bow drill down. Definitely WTF

Butt ... U better head south if it is that bad ... AR, MS, TN for starters... Think you can handle that? I'm from AR and lived in WA and now Cebu
.. Went past south a few times and ended up in LA. Not Los Angeles. Not Lower Arkansas but Louisiana ... I was pretty OK with most people across our country, including the east coast when I was there in the army. Southern people might tell U something you don't wanna here from time to time so be ready when you arrive.
Will update when I have the pics.
