Watch Out!
Hunting season is on-going at the Northern end of the park - this guy would be a nice trophy. He better stay here in the South Shore where he's safe.

Temps started at 44, ended at 77.  Sunny with 0-5mph SW breeze.

Easy hike along familiar trails.  Hunting was on-going from Burkett Park North so those trails were closed.  Deer, javelinas and numerous birds were spotted.  There were no other people on the trails so it was anice and relaxing hike.

NOTES -

Water, shade, info kiosk, toilets and a bicycle repair staion available at Playground Parking Arera.

Water, shade, info kiosk and dry toilets available at Burkett Park.  NOTE - on this day the water trough was empty and looked ready to be cleaned.
