Took a tourist-paced ride down to Taylors Island with a detour into the fishing community of Madison (map link), a total of just more than 20 miles with an average speed of 14.3. Nothing special about the ride, except that I should have dressed more warmly. I just don’t want to pull out the cold weather gear quite yet. The historic marker for the War of 1812's Battle of The Ice Mound, pictured below (map link), is just over the bridge on Taylors. I wonder about the fate of Becca, the cook that was captured along with the cannon, recalling that this was a slave-owning area at the time.
