Day Trip 06/15/13 - East Ouchita Nat'l Forest Trail Ride (1 Viewer)

[JWaldz]

I'm extending an invite to you local guys to see if anyone would like to partake in a day run through the east area of Ouchita National Forest around Lake Winona. So far there are just a couple others in the convoy. Will be meeting at Williams Junction Saturday morning @ 9am. Trip will consist of a large loop around Lake Winona heading west towards the Forked Mountain Bluffs and then coming back towards Williams Junction. Minimal water crossings, nothing too crazy. Trip will take about 6-8 hours depending on stops and/or breaks.

I'd be in for sure, but I'm camping and canoeing on the Buffalo this weekend.

Take note of any interesting spots that we've haven't found before. Looks like a great route, and Lance, you, and I have covered most of that before.

Please post the time when y'all decide. I am waiting on a confirmed hall pass.

 

[JWaldz]

original post updated with time. Looking forward to whoever can join us.

Josh, will do. I figured it was close to the same route we took last time. Hoping for a little more water though.

Looks like I'll be joining y'all.

Sad I'm missing this. Already committed to going to the Petit Jean swap meet tomorrow morning or I'd definitely be down. Have fun and take some pics.

Good times. Lots of opportunities to ride for hours. Thanks for the heads up!

Time to take up a collection for a Safari Snorkel?? Been there... only it was the Mississippi. That fun sucks.

Let me know if you need a ride to work Monday morning.

So you heard huh.. It definitely sucks bad. Thankfully I've got my gf's car for Monday. Unfortunately the sun is going to hide all day which making the dry process longer.

The 4Runner, completely gutted...

 

[jbsax]

I'm just glad you got it home. Any problems after you put the new starter in?

Sure did! I saw (4) 40's for sale:





















Never seen so much bondo on any vehicle as was present on the 40 in the 1st pic. Scary.

You gutted that thing fast... Impressive. Hope she's good as new before too long. You going to be draining the diffs, etc, or do you think you're okay?

We gutted it that night when I got home. Took a wet vac to it and it's drying out as we speak. I plan on changing all the diff fluids and an oil change. Gonna seafoam it too. Then have to get some exhaust work done as my muffler is done for.

I think it's story time. Knowing you, you've got more pictures too!

Never saw the first 2 but we got up there late Friday and they coulda been covered up by then. How much did they want for the red one with the roof rack?

I actually don't have any pics from it.. Everyone else took pics. I'll get the story when I get the pics.

I plan to use their services soon! Can't be riding around with no muffler for too much longer.
