i just spent the last 4 days in saint regis falls in the adirondacks.we rode around the santa clara tract and i couldnt help to notice thousands of huge untapped sugar maples.its kind of a shame that thousands of gallons of sap just sit in new york untouched,i seen 1 maple like 5 miles back in the woods on a 4wheeler trail that still had spouts and rusted out partial buckets hanging on it.i wondered how long ago they were hung and lost or forgotten about.talked to a few locals about the maple industry and they said back 10-15yrs every old timer tapped heavy in the area but as they passed the tapping passed also.
