Route Burkett park > Burkett > service road (NNE) > service road (W) > Flintstone Trail (N) > 5 Points Junction > Turkey Creek > Armadillo (W) > West Potts Creek > Roller Coaster > Suzanne's Trail > Burkett Park 5.8 miles

Temps in the low 80's, light wind and cloudy.

Been over two weeks since I hiked so this felt good. Not much to see but walk and talk with friends.
