Today's route was an easy loop: Washburn (white) to Undercliff (yellow) to Brook (red) to Cornish (blue). I found myself breaking into a run from time to time on the uphills and the downhills. Whenever I spotted other hikers, I returned to a sedate walk.
Even so, I did take a spectacular fall in front of a group of three college kids - simply stepped on some scree and my legs slid out from under me. My dignity was a little sprained, but otherwise no injuries to report.

| A little shock of red on a single branch. |

| Not one of the better maintained sections at the moment... |

| None shall pass! |

| Ivy seems to turn earlier (and brighter!) than other foliage. |

| Q.E.D. |
The hike went really quickly - it took only about two hours. So I had time to buy new hiking shoes on sale at Hudson Outfitters on my way to the train.
In the city, I went to Rickshaw Dumplings for a quick bite, then headed toward one of those high-end gadget stores to see what they have on tap for aesthetically pleasing multi-device chargers. Answer: Nothing. So I went home and rigged something up temporarily (using the perfectly nice box my laptop came in many moons ago). It occurs to me now, I should have made a charging stand out of Legos.
I'm not sure what gave me the idea.
