Ducks Cove

Yesterday was a day off for me. In the morning I did all my weekend chores: groceries, laundry, housework. (work before play)In the afternoon I went into town and visited with friends. We walked the beach at Ducks Cove.

Sorry Greens and Watts......we don't wish to appear as copycats. Brenna saw the pictures on Longwoods blog and commented she would love to go to a sugar camp. I made a call and they only had openings for the monday morning 1030 tour so we grabbed it. once I saw the pictures I recognized it, we had been there 12-15 years ago. We had a great morning, 15 degrees but they had NO syrup to buy. It's now getting too warm and the sap isn't flowing as well.

Just some interesting facts: they only tap sugar, silver and red maple trees; the ratio of sap to syrup is 45:1; they personally tap 200- 250 trees (THERE IS A BUSINESS IN CENTRAL NB THAT TAPS 165,000 TREES). We also found out they have groomed cross country ski trails and snowshoeing trails so that will be a destination next winter.
