We love it when we stumble upon places that we know about from history classes. Today it was the Tippecanoe Battlefield and Museum. We visited the site of the November 7, 1811 battle between U.S. forces led by then Indiana governor William Henry Harrison against the Shawnee led by Tenskwatawa, the brother of Tecumseh. It was a set back for the Shawnee who never achieved their dream of a complete Indian Confederacy. Additionally it was a great public relations boon for Harrison that led to the famous campaign slogan, “Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too, and ultimately to the White House.
Thanks to the organizational skills of Mandy & Kgreat weekend of endrick, the amazing support of their team, and the sponsorship of nüCamp RV we enjoyed a great weekend of camaraderie and fun at the Northeast Rally. Gathering with fellow teardrop aficionados is always an enriching experience and this gathering in the Adirondacks was no exception.
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
