Temps in the low 70's, overcast and very light wind.

Had a little rain last night but the trails were only slightly muddy.  Vegetation was wet though so after a short time on the trails, my feet were soaked.  We saw one small snake on Horny Toad - it was thin and had a greenish coloring; I saw the lower half on the trail and when I raised my camera to get a picture, the snake slithered off into the bushes.  No rattles, no worries!

Flowers continue to bloom and the birds are singing for mates.  Quail spotted again and again so there should be quite a few young ones in the near future.
