Gorge Road Sugar Bush!

Yesterday I went to the Gorge Rd. sugar bush! It was a perfect day for a trek through the woods! I have come up with a checklist you should remember before heading there yourself.
  • Wear rubber boots. We probably could have filled a glass from wringing out our socks!
  • Have camera ready at all times. The paths are slippery and I witnessed 2 successful wipe-outs! Also, snow was falling from the tree limbs landing in peoples coffees or on their heads!
  • Take a bottle of water. There's sweet treats at every stop, and you'll be begging for some detoxifying water!

  • Take a baggie to store your stick. While maple syrup on snow is delicious, carrying the stick gets annoying after awhile. If you put it in your pocket, it gets covered in lint because it's sticky. Lint and maple syrup just don't go well together!
  • Don't eat much before you go, the all-you-can-eat pancakes at the end are to die for!
So now that you have the checklist, head to the sugar camps on Gorge Rd., 9-3 only open for the next 2 weekends!

Thanks to FireFly Photography for the pictures!
