Temp started at 43, ended at 56.  Overcast with a few sprinkles, light Southerly breeze 5-10mph.

A long, leisurely hike punctuated by a few rain drops.  All trails were dry, easy to see and traverse.  Numerous deer were spotted as well as six javelinas on Lanky Lackey.  Some birds were out but there wasn't much going on with the wildlife.  I spent some extra time and hiked to gather old, rusted barbed wire just off and near the junction of Tasajilla Flats and Horny Toad trails.  Also picked up a lot of other trash, mostly old stuff that seems to keep popping up no matter how many times I've been on the trails.  No photos worth keeping were taken.
