chris, the trees are various sizes most are 2 tap vac trees and some three because of how they are split at the trunk.the population is very thick cause its an area of five acres on the map. im pretty shure i could get 1000 holes without trying hard and the cost of tubing it per tap would be cheap because of that. going to try to get up some pics of it and the sugar maple woods so u guys can see the difference. hues and chris, do u have any pics of the woods you are tapping
Tom, Here's a link to my facebook page. Lots of pictures on here. This is my first year for drops, next year I plan on a pipeline and vacuum. Right behind the sugarhouse is a nice slope good for 500+ taps, all reds though. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pleasa...2466784?ref=hl
Tom there are a couple pics of our woods on my website:

nice guys Ill try to get some up of the silver maple patch if i get a chance this week. finished one ladder and have 31 taps on it sap was dripping out of a couple fresh holes today for a few minuts. going to be more than the seventy five i thought when its all done
We've been dry for about a week here in Cleveland. Sun's out... hoping for a decent run today. Staying optimistic. Tapped on Feb. 10th... too early, perhaps?

was able to get a couple shots this morning before i started to get working on the other ladder. middle 3 pics are of the silver bush for next year the others are the sugarmaple woods. sap is running slow today
Vac is running decent as we speak (6:40 pm). Hung 25 more sap sacks today to get my tap count to 517. Some of my buckets/bags facing the sun were running ok this afternoon. Hoping for a good sap day tomorrow
Nice pictures Tom . .. . . . Trees on the fields edge were running pretty good this afternoon, hopefully the next couple of days they'll keep running.
my buckets were drippin quite a bit early afternoon. . . lines are moving too, but many are frozen .
Brrrr its a cold rain at this time but the vacuum taps are flowing right now.
