• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 first weekend of June was a difficult one, after the passing of my dear cat, Paris. I decided to ride in a new place last Sunday, and drove south across the state border into Colorado to ride the Diamond Peak/Three Corners area. I was just exploring and enjoying more nice weather on my FE 501.
The day started out with blue bird skies, but a troublesome looking little cotton ball of a cloud eventually began to evolve into a full on afternoon thunder storm. I kept an eye on it and managed to handily outrun it back to the staging area, but it cut the day short by a noticeable margin. Lovely green countryside and plenty of critters out and about. I saw lots of pronghorn antelope, a smattering of muley deer, and a lone moose. I also found some little trout in a tiny creek along one of the roads. Again, almost no other vehicles were lurking about.











 
So nice to see those panoramas. It loos like you are very far from any population there, do you cross with others are are most of the time very alone ? Over here where I ride 'near the city' I encounter people all the time, must be fun, and also a little risky riding somewhere with more liberty so to say :D

Up here in Wyoming, 90 percent of the roads aren't even paved, and there are less than 600,000 people in the whole state. You can often pick a dirt route and it is possible to ride until your bike runs out of gas without coming across any civilization or even another vehicle. It's also difficult to find people to ride with, but I do have one friend locally who I ride with. But it always pays to be a cautious rider and carry lots of tools and a Spot.
