The Hike 
Back at Burns Hill before band on a ridiculously unpleasant 80 degree day! I was super sleepy and hoping the hike would wake me up (it medium did). My lungs were hurting for whatever reason (probably from the hike this past weekend), which also wasn't pleasant. The roostery/swamp looked drier than ever from the power cut, but I had a wonderful breeze once in the woods. I spooked a deer in the same spot as last week and I noticed the trail was getting much leafier. There were no people nor bugs, except for one gnat at the very end, and I even saw a snake at the end of my second lap!

Step-by-Step
- Start hike at Burns Hill trailhead.
- Cross power cut, turn right at loop split.
- Follow loop two times with optional visit to Heron Roostery.
- When complete, return via power cut.
