You see, my full time gig has this glorious thing...it's called Fall Break. Ledges Overlook...need to go back for some fall color I promised myself I'd get up at sunrise each day (not asking too much as it rises at 7ish am now) and try a new trail.  It was time to break the pattern of the comfortable - no biking the towpath, no Oak Hill/Plateau trails, no Ledges Trail - Ok, I was on the Ledges Trail for a bit on Friday but just to the Overlook. How can one resist? So, there I was, restless, waiting for the sun
