Pressing Cider

 It has been such a great year for wild apples that I decided to make some cider. I spent a few hours picking apples, and got 100lbs. I spent the majority of an afternoon pressing the apple with my dad. Operating the cider press is a two person job. From our 100 lbs of apples we got 5 gallons of cider. It was so much fun that we decided to make more cider with our neighbors the next weekend.
