Springtime in Quebec Destination: Cabane à Sucre in Saint Alexis, Lanaudiere

Update....It is midwinter in upstate New York and we are expecting another great snowfall today. There's more weeks of CoVID pandemic isolation. The northern border remains closed to casual travel from New York into Quebec. The only thing left to do is read by the fireside and dream of future road trips. It makes me recall an April road trip in Quebec with a great opportunity to visit a legendary sugar shack and indulge in a flood of maple flavored products! at Cabane Osias.
