West Virginia to Wisconsin

From West Virginia we drove to Wisconsin for Dwayne's family reunion.  Over 50 years ago, Dwayne's grandmother suggested her siblings and their off-spring gather together on the family homestead farm for a reunion.  Hundreds of relatives showed up traveling from as far west as Washington State and Western Canada for the first reunion.  The farms today are much different from what they were in the 1960s let alone when the homestead was established.  Today, the family farms are incorporated and operate 24 hours a day.  Dwayne no longer bucks hay or picks rocks as he did in his younger years while visiting the farm.  Instead, he is content with walking along with his grandchildren as they learn about modern dairy farming during a guided tour conducted by a cousin.
