Temp started at 80, ended at 99.  Sunny and hot with a steady 10mph SW breeze.

All trails were dry, easy to see and relatively easy to traverse.  Some had been recently groomed and others have not.  The heat seemed to have kept most wildlife still because I only saw a couple of deer and a few birds.  Insects were out as were a few lizards but otherwise, not much was moving in the heat.  Bee bush is almost ready for another round sof vanilla scented flowers and there are still some patches of wildflowers the bees and other bugs visit.  Not much else went on.
