Hey Don:

Creek eh, I beat my creek this year, yeehaa. I ran a 3/4 mainline across it, nice and tight, supported by aircraft cable, solid as a rock. Lava can flow down my creek this year and it wont bother me, lol.

Have maybe 35-40 taps across the creek and now just let it come to me.

I,m thinking a 500 ft. roll of tubing and a Shurflow pump should be in your future.

Terry I havent spent a dime on Sugaring equipment this year (just bottles) but that thought was so close to happening this year you dont even know! Next year there will be tube lines to a holding tank across the creek!
