we tap about 2000 just behind the jerusalum country store on top of the mountain. it is quite the site up there. we`ll be at the school that day, if you would like to come up to the sugarbush afterward let me know.

Who or what combination of people own that land? Somebody's got to start tapping that. There are thousands of taps there!! And yes, I'll be there too.

Ryan: That ridge is owned by the VT land trust. They will not lease it for
sugaring. There are probably 4 to 6 thousand taps on it maybe more I'm not sure about the west side, I think getting it around the end of the ridge might be a problem and going west with it isn't possible. My son Dan has 800 taps on the west side on Quaker St. they run like crazy. See you on the 12th at Mt Abe. Congrats on your buck, I got one in Ontario and one here, it was a good year in the woods!

I am not sure of the spelling but I am going to take a shot at it.It is something like Kowarly and he owns about 3500 acres and the remaining land is owned by the state of Vermont. There was a time that he was interested in tapping it but his forester convinced him to not do it.
