Default Northwest LA

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 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?

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.
