Birch Tree Tapping

With a beautiful Saturday to enjoy we headed over to the University of Alaska Experimental Farm.  Amanda had signed us up for a "How to Tap a Birch Tree and Make Your Own Syrup" class.  We had a great time learning and being outside in the nice weather.  

 For the last 2 months we have been called "The Liberals from the East Coast".  Well we have been doing a good job of finding more Liberals.  The folks taking the class were a little more Hippy than we are used too.

 Proof.  Look at all those Subarus.  One of them is ours.

Once we got home we set up our taps on the trees around the house.
