Tippecanoe day two

That rhymes. The  presidential election of 1840 gave us the ditty "Tippecanoe and Tyler too". Don't know if that is taught in history anymore. William Henry Harrison was running as the candidate of the Whig party (today's Republicans). He was famous because of his victory at a battle with native Americans near the Tippecanoe river. His running mate was John Tyler. Harrison won by a large margin. Having an election slogan is still in use today. Today was a chill day for the most part. See photo.

  2. Some bike riding. Trails are off limits to bikers. Trails are for hikers and horses only
