Leg 1 -  Burkett Park > WS to LL Connector > Rollercoaster > West Potts Creek > Turkey Creek > Armadillo Pavillion service road (NE) > Playground by-pass (S) > Potts Creek Trail > Burkett Trail > Burkett Park   4.4 miles

Termp started at 80, ended at 102.  Sunny and H-O-T with 10mph SW breeze.

A very short hike due to heat and a time crunch.  All trails were dry, easy to see and traverse.  Not much bird activity but I did get a photo of a Roadrunner getting a drink from a horse trough at Burkett Park after I finished my hike (photo attached).  Cottontail rabbits, Jack Rabbits, deer and a few javelinas were spotted.  Bird activity was minimal no doubt due to the heat.

NOTES -

Water, shade, info kiosk and dry toilets available at Burkett Park.
