22) Learn how to make Maple syrup

Yes friend part of my job is to give Maple syrup tours and I also got to be involved in setting up the maple line. Though I have not actually seen how maple syrup is made, I feel like I can cross this one off the list because I am learning about it and will get to help make it soon.

I also got to taste the sap straight from the tree, it tasted like watered down sugar.

Oh and another fun story so we use snow to cover up the huge barrels that the sap will be stored in, and today as we were putting snow on the barrels we found tons of soggy cheese sandwiches in the snow.  I guess Wisconson snow likes cheese just as much as I do.

4) Ride on a train

I am currently sitting on an Amtrak train.  This is my first time rideing a passenger train other than the ones at amusement parks.  I would have to say I have enjoyed it emmensly.  Every inch of scenery seems  breathtaking, in one day I saw a place that had 4ish inches of snow and a place that had none.  You move quick but if you are quick enough you can catch some real beauty.  Some miss it because they are just traveling from point A to point B. 

Yesterday around mindnight we passed Toledo Ohio and I saw flames coming out of a building.  It looked controlled, but I thought to myself holy Toledo what is going on.

A lot of Amish people ride the train.  I love watching them, emmencsed in technology yet keeping there tradition.

So first one done 29 to go.  bring it on.
