Nice video
This is such a well-made, personal, and optimistic video. I'm so glad to see your work and the results of it. Congratulations and thank you!
Looks like a GREAT place to visit. I'll surprise my wife on one of her days off and take her to MNP. We both love hiking in nature and checking out the native Wi. flowers, trees, birds, animals and habitat. Can't wait to enjoy what all of you have helped create. Cheers
Great job, thanks for the informatiion!
My family and I attended your maple tapping event on March 1 and decided to tap our three trees. With four taps, we were able to can 1 1/3 gallons of syrup this season! We didn't have an evaporator, so we used a Nesco on our front porch for most of the evaporating, finishing the boil inside with my candy thermometer to get the correct temperature. It was a lot of work, but we're happy we tried this adventure. Thank you, MNP for the training and confidence to try this!
What drone you using? I made one with my drone of the watchtower a few years back, on my channel.
