South Shore Playground to Armadillo Ridge and back

Looking North
This view is from Roller Coaster Trail as I look to the North. The houses to the left of the juniper bush are in the Highland Ridge Housing Area which abuts the park.

This hike is described in detail in my prior log entry of 4/16/2014 and titled "South Shore Playground - Armadillo Ridge Loop".

The temps were in the low 60's, a light breeze, lots of birds singing and in the four hours I was hiking, I saw only one mountain biker on the trails - what more can you ask for ?!?

For those sharp eyed readers who noticed the mileage discrepancy between my prior log entry and this one - I use a pedometer and although I try to keep the same stride on each hike, it is apparent I do not.  One of these days I may get a GPS unit and record precise mileage but until then, my pedometer is what I use as a mileage recorder.
