Stevens Point & Chippewa Falls Breweries

Took a four-day trip from Sturgeon Bay to Eau Claire, stopping at multiple breweries, naturally. Stevens Point and Leinenkugels were two of the great photo stops. Leinenkugels is currently closed with production taking place in Milwaukee, but Molson Coors has kept the facility functional as if it could be turned on again tomorrow despite 20 months since being closed down. Sad to see it not functioning and surprising that an attempt by the Leinenkugel family to purchase it back was spurned . 

Dairy Farm Tour

 As part of Door County Learning in Retirement we visited a dairy farm south of Sturgeon Bay, WI. The Olson's took us on a tour of their 150+ year old farm on a windy Spring day. Compared to how our grandfather's milked, and especially to how my great-great-great-grandfather would have been farming in West Jacksonport, WI in the mid-1870's it was incredible to see the cows queueing up on their own for robotic milking with the Lely Astronaut.
