Thyrone Mills

Yesterday my photogroup and I went to the Purple Tree Conservation area Maple Syrup festival and then to Thyrone Mills.

I was very happy to see the maple syrup still bubling out of the evaporator as it has been a pretty amazing year according to the folks there. They have been able to make 500+ liters of maple syrup and the sap was still flowing out of the trees. While there I was able to sample hot cider and eat pancakes with fresh maple syrup...mmm

Afterwards there was a suggestion to go to a place called Thyrone Mills just north on Bowmanville, Ontario. Now I have driven by this place on countless times as this is the route that I took to Cornwall on the weekends but never stopped.

It is the oldest working mill in Ontario and it dates back to 1846. They process there own flower and also cutes there own lumber. It is a pretty amazing place to see. You can tour the area there is a pond with duck in it. There is an old rusted truck on the site that I took pictures of...a photographers dream.

What a great day.
