Hot Springs to log Cabin Drive

Loved loved Hot Springs but hit the trail again late morning. The weather was absolutely perfect and we saw some wildlife today. 
Our first (and hopefully only) snake. Ha. Al didn't realize he'd stepped right on it until I screamed. 
As I was going along I started smelling burning leaves and as I went on, the air started to get a little thicker, you could see lots of smoke down in the valley and there were several helicopters. A little freaky since we didn't know what was going on. Came to a road crossing and saw this
About that time a forest service guy drove by and said it was a prescribed burn so all was good. Hiked until nearly dark and set up camp in a quiet spot, ate some dinner and crashed.
