I hope you are correct!
Dave almost ready have a few drops to put in and set tanks. sounds like were going to get another 15 or so inches of snow hopefully then the weather starts to break!
Finzel,
I was talking to my son last night and he said that on sunday he and a couple of other folks got stuck driving in to finzel swamp. Had a heck of a time getting out. took about 3 hrs.
I am hooking up electric at my tanks on saturday and then getting pump and releaser hooked up. then a number of odds and ends to wrap up, plus 600 more buckets and I will be ready to go. I hope to tap my tubing presidents day and the buckets the following weekend.
Dave, that finzel swamp is a nighrtmare this time of the year! I think we are shootin for about the last week of feb weather permitting. Tell your son he's welcome to stop in the camp during the season if he gets the sugar bug like the rest of us do
Yea he should know better but the fella driving didnt. I will tell him. I am trying to covice him and his wife to help me hang buckets on the 20th. If work dosent call him out of town.
Dave, 1200 buckets i hope to he helps you thats alot work for one man or do you have other people that also help?
Actually he doesn't help that much he has been gone from home for almost seven years now. He is also married and works for Maryland-DC Audubon. I have a crew of people that help. That I pay to help. All my sap gets trucked. I have two that I haul sap with. I am hoping he will come for the weekend here in a couple weeks and help tap
Well at least you have some help thats alot by yourself! Let me know the difference between gravity and vacum. I'd like to try vacum next year if the funds are availible.
They {who ever that is} say vacuum on 2000 taps will pay for itself in a half season. You should do very well with your taps if you have your mainlines sized correctly.
Fiinzel ,
How much snow? are you buried in it?
