Forrest hill is where the dunes are right? Always wanted to go there. Like you, I am working bugs out though. I would hate to drive that far and have technical problems. I was halfway around the 30 something mile trail at Kisatchie National Forest on my warrior when I had my motor blow for the second time. Luckily a kind bunch towed me back (riding buddy was on a warrior too, couldn't pull mine).

Yep, Forrest hill is the nearest town, a few miles down the road from "La Dunes". I've been there once, and didn't really like it much to be honest. Claiborne is the name of the old military came that is now the national forrest, might be the same trails you're talking about, a few miles north of the dunes. I think there's some more trails north of Alexandria too, so I might be wrong... ;)
My bike is actually running great right now, it just started leaking water into the tranny again. I had an old motor with a good seal in it so I used that one, I figured it might last a little while. I should have known better... lol I have a whole seal kit on the way though, I need to change the one in the water pump, as well as the kickstart shaft, the one behind the front sprocket, and the one on the power valve rod where it comes out of the cylinder.
Other than those leaks it's ready to go, got new fenders on the way too, as well as a seat cover, all cosmetic stuff.
I think I'm going to try to get a summer of riding out of the bike, then next winter I'd like to tear it down and go through the engine, top and bottom. It's got a new top end right now so it might just make it... :|
If we do head up that way in the coming weeks I'll be sure to let you know, maybe we could meet up and ride the trails!

Doubt the wife will let me drive that far but I will be sure to whine and plead :cry:
