The weather forecast for Wisconsin after tomorrow makes it look like we will be done here. But the run last weekend and this weekend has been great.
Got a gallon per tap yesterday and today, and that is with the south taps dried up. The cold trees and the north taps are really running. Had a few trees with 1 and 1/2 gallons and 2 gallons per tap to make up for the dry taps. My wife and I are sure we didn't skip any trees when we emptied pails yesterday, but one pail was full to the top with 4 gallons. That doesn't seem possible!!!!
It will still be sad to see the year end, but I don't have to tell anyone that on this site.

It was probably the last freeze of the season and i had my best run. 5200 gallons of sap and it is still gushing. But it is midnight so i need to sleep for at least 3 hours before i go to work. Practicly noone is getting any sap around me. VACUUM is everything
