We've got about 200 taps in and have been getting some sap. The trees and temps are right on the edge of a good run! Probably do our first boil of the season tomorrow.

I have been tapped for two weeks now and have yet to see a serious run. Hoping today might be the day it turns on. I am so ready!!

I have been tapped for a couple of weeks.So far only collected about 100 gals.The trees i tapped today were running. My vacuum taps are running a little we need some sun.I boiled the 100 gals i had but that was just a tease.

The neighbor has already done up 5 gallons. He says it's super sweet right now, he hauled 170 gallons yesterday 3/1/2013. My son put out 100+ taps yesterday and he hauled +/-36 gallons so far. He checked the buckets around 2:00 today and figures he'll have to dump 1/2 of the hundred by tonight. So, it's running......
