Maple trees with sap buckets

We continue to meet branch members,and wait for approval from Salt Lake to re-open the branch. we are teaching a less active sister,attending District, Zone and all conference meetings.We have had some wonderful experiences and taken many pictures along the way. The picture above was taken on the way to a "sugar shack" where they make the tree sap into maple syrup.

The picture on the left is a reverse osmosis machine that removes water from the sap before it is put in the apparatus at the right, it then continues to condense the maple sap and creates the maple syrup, we learned that it takes 40 gallons of sap to produce one gallon of syrup.
