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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Arctic circle pics

well, i tried to post this, but they're out of order and duplicated.

Anyway, took the terra up to the arctic circle sign on Saturday. 407 mile round trip from my house. Nice day---ran into some rain and mud on the return, but it wouldn't have been a good haul road trip without mud!
 
Hmm...If you're close enough to day ride up there, where is your ultimate ADV location?

An Alaska trip is on my list of ultimate bike trips, so I'm curious.

Alaska brings a lot of people for bike trips. Deadhorse has some magic draw for people, but it's not much fun. Perhaps I've done it too many times? I've been driving a truck up there twice a year for caribou hunting for 10+ years.
But don't let that discourage you. Please come up and spend your money! The trip over the Denali Highway is much more fun. As is the trip to McCarthy. And the Top of the World Highway.

Anyway, as far as my ultimate trip? Oh, that's really easy. It's about 13K miles. 15 countries.

Truer words have never been spoken...

Deadhorse is a shit hole. The run up to Attigun pass was pretty cool but anything north of that was just not my cup of tea.

I did it once and never have to do it again. haha

Later,
 
It's an expensive shithole...but an adventure destination nonetheless.
My biggest problem is getting the time away from work required to dip a toe in the Arctic.
Next summer we're hoping the stars align to allow a few of us to make the trek - one has done it before on a 640 Adventure.
