Leg 2 - Cougar Overlook > service road (SW) > Trailhead to Trailhead (S) > Burkett Trail > Burkett Park 3.2 miles
Temp started at 75, ended at 86. Sunny, wind became steady at 5-10mph from South.
An easy hike along dry trails. Had a LOT of rain (park had 7 inches in 24 hours) with lots of water in creeks that are normally dry. OC Fisher Reservoir went from 5% to 7% but there was no real damage to the trails I hiked today!
I saw a fox as I was driving in (photo attached), three groups of javelinas, lots of whitetail deer, turkeys and a cottontail rabbit. Not many birds were out but there were quite a few grasshoppers and small lizards.
Overall a good hike.
