Maple Festival

 It was an incredible day with sweet friends at the Highland County Maple Festival.  We traveled back roads and mountain byways to visit and tour several sugar camps.  It was an incredible experience to learn the process of making maple​ syrup, see how they tap sugar maple trees to harvest the sap and to witness a vanishing way of life.  The mountains of Virginia and West Virginia were breathtaking!  From the car, I believe I may have taken a picture of every red barn we passed.  Thank you Clemons family for letting me tag along!!
