Maple syrup makers drill a hole in the tree and collect sap in either a bucket or via a tube that connects the flowing sap into the sugarhouse. Maple sap starts to run when the daytime temperatures rise above freezing and drop back below freezing at night. In the largest maple syrup-producing state of Vermont, this window typically lies between mid-February and mid-March. As the collected sap is mostly water, with only one to four percent sugar content, the water must be evaporated to convert the sap to syrup.
If you’re visiting Joshua Tree as part of an epic road trip in America’s Southwest, it’s a great stop roughly halfway between Las Vegas and San Diego. If you plan to visit Joshua Tree as a day trip from a closer destination, like Palm Springs, there are two routes to consider. Sage Advice: We opted for a circular route on our day trip to Joshua Tree from Palm Springs, entering the park through the west entrance, zipping up to the Oasis of Mara near the north entrance, and then following Pinto Basin Road to the south entrance where we exited the park and took the Interstate back to Palm Springs. The Joshua Tree Visitor Center is located near the west entrance, the Oasis Visitor Center is located near the north entrance, and the Cottonwood Visitor Center is located at the south entrance.
Instead of al-Qaeda members flying commercial aircraft into buildings, a decorated US Army veteran parked a rented truck outfitted with a homemade explosive outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. Minutes later, just after 9:00 am local time on April 19, 1995, a diesel-fuel-and-fertilizer bomb exploded, leaving a gaping hole in the middle of downtown Oklahoma City. And when I saw a family — a mid-life mother and father with a 20-something daughter — placing flowers on what I assumed was a lost child’s chair, the tears that had been brewing spilled down my cheeks. While a trip to the Oklahoma City Memorial is heartbreaking, it’s important to visit, to honor those who lost their lives that day and to remain vigilant against future attacks.
Perhaps it’s because my parents are from Kansas, but living all over the US and Europe, I always thought that the style of barbeque served in Kansas City was the only type in the country. So the first time I was served a Carolina-style barbeque sandwich, I was shocked to bite into shredded pork with a pungent vinegar-based sauce. Regardless of the regional style that tastes best to you, these mouthwatering BBQ quotes will inspire you to try barbeque across the country, whether it’s chopped or sliced, “dry” or saucy.
