===========================================



Just as a general learning process I was on a syrup making list on
Yahoo a couple of years ago (I can't recall the name right now). I was
a little surprised to learn the large number of different kinds of
trees that could be used for syrup making (you probably wouldn't want
to use poison ivy). A lot of the guys were blending all sorts of stuff
together.
If you go to Yahoo, then "groups", they have a group locator search there.
BTW, the "tap" thingy is called a "spile". I have a couple that look
like this one:

Of course these days collecting should be done with an antique tractor.   :-)
I finally got curious enough to go searching and I believe the group
was "Maple sugaring hobbyist". I think this link will work OK:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/maplesugaringhobbyists/?v=1&t=search&ch=web&pub=groups&sec=group&slk=7
It was a nice bunch of guys.
