Sandy Flat Sugar Bush meets Thai Wife on Ice

Pray and I visited Sandy Flat Sugar Bush for their annual Maple Syrup Festival near Warkworth Ontario. We had to drive to the town and take a bus to the Sugar Bush as parking at the Sugar Bush was small and so many hundreds of people were going to this event. My Activeon action camera for taking Youtube videos acted up and I unfortunately clicked off the microphone. Did not realize until I uploaded the videos. So most of the video is with John's voice over. The Sugar Bush was a fun event for the whole family. We took a wagon drawn by horses around the Sugar Bush which was Pray's first time. I talked to one of the workers and he was going out to tap another tree. As shown in the video we went to the Sugar Shack and I talked to the attendant who was feeding the fire and watching the evaporator and temperatures. Funny thing is he just got back from Thailand the day before and was really jet lagged! Was a nice guy and plans to go back again soon. We ventured out to watch the sap from the trees go through the hoses and into the tanks for storage. Amazing how much sap is collected to make little syrup. 40:1 at times (Sap to Syrup) The Sugar Bush has 5000 taps and sells the syrup at a reasonable price. We walked into the Sugar Bush for Pray to take photos and was hilarious as you watch the video. I must say she is getting very good at taking photos!!
Thanks Enjoy
