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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Trail Building Last Night

A friend of mine came over last night and we set out to build some single track in my backyard, as well as dip into my neighbors yard a bit. There is a large ravine behind my property and his house is waaaaaayyyyy on the other side of the ravine, so im just gonna call my side of the ravine my property for now. :D We ended up in the middle of the forest in the pitch dark with no lights, the last 100 yards was excavating by feel trying to avoid logs with brush 5' over my head...lol


We had the trail building machine for its first test run building trails...it was awesome! It picked up huge trees, ripped out roots and bulldozed a 28" wide trail.

Cool!!! A buddy of mine just ended up with 40 acres of prime land with 3 miles of trail already on it. I went over the other day and we started doing more to it. should be fun.
 
ya what you could do with 40 acres....im cutting this trail with lots of underbrush around to keep the noise contained.
 
Nice!

Another option might be to send in the crazy riders to make the trails that way (not me).
