My Taps are going in today looking at this 4 day forecast.

Here’s a range report for anyone who is interested. 29 taps in by 2pm and around 7pm, accumulating was about 15 gallons. So not bad for 5 hrs. The ones in the sun were dripping good.

I put 14 taps in 2 weeks ago to catch some early run, I put another 14 in friday and got the vac running. Flowing good in manistee county.

I put 8 taps on 5 gallon buckets ob my dads property in his sugar maples and another 33 in my woods on bag holders last weekend and collected just shy of 50 gallons to work with for my 1st boil on Saturday in Grawn. The sap was still dripping as I was collecting on Tuesday afternoon but I am sure it has stopped now.21069

Yep, it has definitely stopped now. Collected around 57 gallons just before this freeze. Sun, Tues, Weds looks good according to the SapTapApp forecaster. :)

Tapped 20 tress Saturday, finished around 3:00. Sap started running immediately. As of this morning 18 Gallons collected.
Not bad for a day and a half! Traverse City area.

I’m glade I started early this year as it helped me work out the bugs in my updated setup. Ended up throwing out it loosing about 30 gallons of sap because of stupidity, but have now collected over 270 gallons so far from 30 taps. Still running strong in the tc area.
