Temp started at 49, ended at 70, Sunny, light wind.

A very nice hike along mostly groomed trails. The cooler air was at the start of the hike but by the end, it was comfortably warm.

I saw a 6 point buck, doe and fawn that survived last week's hunt. A javelina with two very small piglets was but they were trotting away from us so no photo. Not many birds spotted besides a few Mockingbirds and Sparrows.

Uneventful but pleasant hike.
