Temp started at 54, ended at 70.  Sunny, light winds.

Easy hike along dry and easy to traverse trails.  Some birds out as well as a few deer.  Seeing more purple flowers blooming and found a few agarita bushes with yellow blooms.  A few butterflies were out as well.  Outherwise, just a good, relaxing hike.
