Leg 1 - Burkett Park > WS to LL Connector > Roller Coaster > West Potts Creek > Potts Creek > Playground Trail > Bell's Point > Playground Trail (N) > Flintstone > 5 Points Junction 4.8 miles

Leg 2 - 5 Points Junction > Turkey Creek > Potts Creek (NE) > Burkett Trail > Burkett Park 3.7 miles

Temp started at 39, ended at 55. Sunny with a very slight NNW 1-3mph breeze.

Easy hike along dry trails. Not many animals spotted - a few deer at the beginning of the hike and an occasional bird. Even though there was nothing to see or photograph except the Moon (photo attached) I enjoyed the solitude and quiet of the hike and am glad I did it.
