Fun to read about. I've heard some people are maple syruping here which normally doesn't happen for another 1-1.5 months from now.
I've helped with syruping before but not very extensively, nothing but pretty old-timey equipment.
A couple of years ago we bought some black walnut syrup which was surprising to me to find; it was pretty tasty, a fruitier, tarter syrup than maple. I also usually have birch syrup around, which is kind of molasses-y in taste.
