Sap Time

New Concord residents Donna Newberry and Philipp Mueller were out in the woods near Muskingum College today, boiling maple sap down to make syrup. It takes 40 gallons of pure, clear sap to make one gallon of syrup, and they expected to be at it through the evening.

Newberry kept watch.


Mueller stoked the fire.
