It’s early spring and that means it’s time to tap sugar maple trees for sap to make maple syrup. There’s a fairly standard procedure for doing this, but someone in Lincoln seems to be take a rather unconventional approach. Lincoln resident Jack Fultz spotted this setup near the intersection of Sandy Pond Road and Baker Bridge Road:
This is not the first time the mystery sap-tapper has struck in that area. Here’s a photo from 2018 taken by Lincoln Squirrel editor Alice Waugh:
No word yet on who’s responsible for these whimsical displays and how many gallons of sap (or creosote, or syrup) they’ve been able to collect.
That maple syrup must taste electrifying!
I love it!
Well it is better than a wire tap.
