I myself was born and raised in western Canada and when I made the decision to move east Maple was one of the reasons. That and trees period. I also carried all my sap in to the house from half a mile away until the last week when the snow melted and the ground dried up enough to drive in the feilds of the neighbour. I think it's one of the neatest things I ever did. I am hopeing to be able to continue doing it for a long time. I got started at way over 50 but I am still pretty tough for a old man.
maybe 50 taps for 2011
Finally ready to boil when I get enough sap
I just might be crazy.( make that I know I am)
Trees all tapped except the ones with 5 feet of snow.
Enough rabbits to keep Elmer busy..
