Temps in the lid-50's, sunny and windy.

Good hike today along areas that have been recently burned. The smell of burned vegetation was present but not overpowering.  Found trash as usual but that was to be expected after a burn clears the brush.  I saw a blue grey gnatcatcher and a pair of Kestrels as well as the usual birds.  Also saw a couple of white tail deer.

The trails are hard packed and the fire has cleaned a lot of the overgrown brush and vegetation away.  Still some on the trails but they are much easier to hike now.
