Anyone here from northwest LA, Shreveport/Bossier area? I'm stationed at Barksdale and I have no clue where to wheel except the offroad parks in east TX. Also I am in need of a cheap XJ if anyone has any leads

 

I'm about 3 hrs from you, they have Sicily Island you can ride at. Thats about the only place i know of.

 

I'm from Baton Rouge. My Dual Sport motorcycle group occasionally goes into the Kisatchie Forest between Alexandria and Fort Polk. Maybe there's some stuff around there?

 

Did you find a place to ride?

 

I've found some parks online in east TX but i haven't been able to make it out there. I also read about Lake Bisteneau and supposedly there are some good trails and nasty mud out there so as soon as I get some free time I'm gonna try to get out there since it's way closer than the parks in TX.

 

X2.. stationed at fort polk... texas seems to be the place. Everything around me is owned by locals, some of which dont even speak english (Cajun...real tight neighbors and stuff) ive got yelled at a few times for diving off the gravel road on some trail (unmarked).. haha

 

there is mudfest 2x a year near alex... was disapointing this year... was a man-made pond with like 4 feet of water... only hard part of it is where the trucks with >38" tires were purposfully making ruts.. lol

 

I heard it was crazy over there last year, my nephew went he drowned his four wheeler and locked his keys in his truck. The same weekend. hahaa

 

Dont get me wrong its fun.. good food, lots of drunk people, mud all over everyone... there just wasent anything hard or challenging in the wheeling aspect

 

yeah, i'm not really looking for straight line mud pits and stuff like that. maybe i'll just have to wait til i get stationed in colorado or utah (fingers crossed, don't tell the wife though lol)

 

carson is the place to be just be advised to do not leave the trails and don't even think about getting muddy everything is protected marsh lands with a $200 min fine

 

I forgot lol my cousins all go out to whiskey rd out past Blanchard but it's not public we know the owner also u can go over to Kilgore (just past Longview) into the Sabine bottoms bit do NOT go into the bottoms alone!!!
