Our third stop for the day was: Dip and Stick Sugar House on route 12. We had never been here before, but it was a real treat hearing the stories of the sugaring process that they have had over the years. The sap is gather at the trees, mostly with tubing that is gravity fed to plastic tanks in the woods. They take their trucks and pump the sap from the tanks to bring to the sugar house. The sap is boiled to 219 degrees for the syrup. It must be carefully watched to keep from burning. 40 gallons of sap makes only 1 gallon of syrup.
It has been such a joy to visit the Sugar houses today. We have a chance to see how the sugaring process is carried out...still much like the old timers have done in the past, but with many modern supplies. I thank the Lord for this wonderful natural resource. Yes, one last time today...we were able to taste freshly made maple syrup! Yum!
