Leg 1 -  Playground parking area > Chaparral > Tally Valley > Horny Toad > Nature Trail > Lanky Lackey > WS to LL Connector > Burkett Park   3.2 miles

Leg 2 -  Burkett park > Winding Snake > Chaparral > Red Dam Loop > Chaparral > Playground parking area    3.1 miles

Temp started at 46, ended at 74.  Sunny with light, intermittant SW breeze.

Easy hike along dry and easy to see trails.  Nothing unusual about today's hike.  I saw deer and javelinas, birds and a few raptors in the air, few to no insects and no reptiles.

As of this date, the trails North of Burkett Park remained closed due to hunting.

NOTES - 

Water, shade, info kiosk, toilets and a bicycle repair station are available at Playground parking area.
