Narrative:The airplane's engine lost total power during cruise flight at 4,000 feet agl. The pilot executed a forced landing to a dirt road. The airplane initially touched down adjacent to the dirt road and then again became airborne. The airplane crossed over a barbed wire fence and contacted the ground a second time, coming to rest upright in sandy terrain. Examination of the airplane by an FAA inspector and an airframe and powerplant mechanic revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operation of the engine.
Probable Cause: The total loss of engine power during cruise flight for an undetermined reason. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
