Done and ready for Vermont Maple Syrup to be made

After 5 months of Earl, Luke and I working hard, the Sugarhouse is finally complete. Stone foundation and all. Danielle and I's aspiration is to give our friends and family the best Vermont maple syrup possible. I'll add some more photos as we get the grass growing around it and the stuff to the right side put into it, as well as the telephone poll removed - they're taking it this week. I've also added some more stones to stabilize the steps more. All of the stones came from a giant rock pile at Grandma's Moon Valley Farm.
Here are two photos, check it out...Take Care, Spencer and Danielle.

I see why they call this the long trail!!

Danielle and I took a few days off over labor day weekend to keep chipping away at hiking the long trail through Vermont from the Mass border to Canada.
We've hiked 100 miles of it so far and still have 172 to go. Doh!! We're going to try and take off 4 days in October to keep hiking more. We might even be able to finish this year.
We saw two moose coming off Bromley and it wasn't Netanel dressed in a moose costume, it was actually a moose - two of them!! Only 50 feet away. Danielle petted the first one and fed it some peanuts and celery.
Killington was grueling. You go up for like 3000 miles and it's so, so steep. But we made it to the top and I've thrown in some photos - one of which is from the top of Killington.
Tomorrow we're hiking another 20 mile section. I wish I had a 4 wheeler because I'd just ride that and cheat. It would be a lot easier. Fall is in full effect. The colors are vibrant. Who needs LSD when you have vibrant Vermont fall foliage???!!
Mile 15 and still 2.4 miles to go...better bust out that headlamp. Doh!

From the top of Killington. This hike was out of control. It was ridiculously steep. I think I'd rather climb K2. Where's a taxi when you need one? I can't believe the Long Trail speed record is like 4 days 13 hours! For 271 Miles!!

One of like 5 billion amazing Vermont vistas on The Long Trail.

Sugarhouse sign

I'm posting photos soon on here of the sugarhouse which is now done. This is the sign on it made from Grandma's 250 year old maple tree. I saw the board and sanded it down. Then we cut in the lettering and it's got 5 coats of polyurethane on it to protect it. More photos to come. Last night Danielle and I went off roading through the National Forest in Stamford and Pownal. We went through a mud lagoon 4 feet deep, up past my headlights (fortunately water doesn't get in the engine air intake of my particular Toyota, otherwise you're screwed) and we made it across to the other side miraculously. Toyota Tacoma's rule. It was the equivalent of driving through Lake Champlain + a volcanic eruption. I was psyched we made it, otherwise, I'd still be there now. It's getting colder, snow should be here soon!!
