Park Mid-Section Burkett Park to Cougar Lookout Figure 8

Out      Burkett park > Suzanne's Trail > Roller Coaster > West Potts Creek > Armadillo > Playground > Bell's Point > Flintstone (N) > 5 Points Junction > Flintstone (N) > Cougar Lookout      6.1 miles

Return  Cougar Lookout > service road (SW) > River Bend (S) > 5 Points Junction > Turkey Creek > Armadillo > East Potts Creek > Burkett Trail > Burkett park    4.9 miles

Temps started at 40 and ended at 60, sunny, steady wind.

Park was closed for a few days for a controlled burn which happened to be in the section I hiked.  The trails are easy to find and so are a few deer/cow trails that may throw you off if you don't know where you're going.  Not all the vegetation has been burned so it's not a desolate vista.

Not many birds out and no animals were seen. 

A long, good hike but nothing special happened today.
