Leg 2 -  5 Points Junction > Turkey Creek > Potts Creek (W) > West Potts Creek > Roller Coaster > WS to LL Connector > Burkett Park   4.2 miles

Temp started at 49, ended at 73.  Sunny with intermitent SSW 5-10mph breeze.

Easy hike along dry, easy to see and traverse trails.  A few deer and a solitary javelina were spotted.  A few birds were singing for mates but otherwise there was no animal or bird activity.  A few agarita bushes are putting out a few flowers and the smell is very nice!  Nothing much to report otherwise except in the notes below.
