Cabane a sucre

Ben and I headed up to our friend Danny's for a look at his sugaring operation. It is quite a tradition here in Quebec in the spring as everyone collects the sap to make the maple syrup. I was interested to see how this all takes place. Upon further investigation I discovered, like many traditions here, it's basically just an excuse to go out into the woods and drink beer with the fellas.


In the first run of sap 700 gallons of sap boiled down to 14 gallons of syrup.

The hardest work I witnessed.

Ben enjoyed it very much thankyou.
