Out     Playground parking area > Tasajilla Flats > Nature Loop > Lanky Lackey > Suzanne's Trail > Burkett park       4.3 miles

Return Burkett park > Winding Snake > Chaparral > Red Dam Loop > Chaparral > Playground parking area           3.7 miles

Temp started at 65, ended at 75.  Sunny with strong, steady winds.

Leisurely hike on the major South Shore trails.  Bird activity pretty high - saw this year's first Cedar Waxwings at two different locations, lots of birds singing for mates and a few of the Lace Cactus have blooms while others do not.

Trails are dry, visible and easy to traverse; some trash was found but not much.  Overall, this was an easy hike on a beautiful Spring day.
