Leg 1 -  Playground parking area > Roadrunner Loop > Playground parking area   3.0 miles

Leg 2 -  Playground parking area > Horny Toad > Tasajilla Flats > Nature Trail > Lanky Lackey > WS to LL Connector > Burkett park    3.9 miles

Leg 3 -  Burkett Park > Winding Snake > Chaparral > Playground parking area   2.8 miles

Temp started at 70, ended at 80.  Cloudy for Leg 1, sunny for Legs 2 & 3.  Steady SSW breeze about 10mph.

Easy hike along dry and familiar trails.  Last week the cactus flowers and wildflowers were prolific; not so much this time.  On a positive note - I saw a small Horned Toad, a yellow billed cuckoo, a solitary javelina, a single cicada, numerous lizards as well as the usual suspects of birds.  Because of the recent rains, some of the trails are in need of a haircut so caution is advised especially when trying to avoid stepping on a snake or horned toad.
