Mud season in New Hampshire is also maple syrup season. Most producers no longer use the traditional sap buckets like these, seen just below Saddle Hill on Upper New Hampton Road, but instead use blue plastic tubing with multiple taps leading to a common container.
It takes about 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup.
