Temps in the mid-70's, sunny and windy.
Fitness hike with friends. After a few days of welcome rains, decided to do a relatively simple hike on the service roads due to potentially wet and muddy trails. Saw quite a few birds and the yellow flowers have started to appear (photo attached).
Saw the first horned toad of the year as well!
