Temp started at 68, ended at 89.  Light, 1-5mph SW breeze.  Sunny w/a few clouds.

Easy hike along dry to morning dew damp trails that were easy to see and traverse.  Some vegetation growing on the trails but only in spots and not insurmountable. 

Not much to see today except for a few Scissortails and some micro-birds that were so fast and low in the brush I couldn't identify them.  A few lizards and a few deer were the only other creatures out and about.  One good thing was seeing and smelling the bee bush small white flowers blooming after the recent rainfall.  The vanilla scent of the tiny flowers is always very pleasant to enjoy while hiking!
