got more sap today running real good good cold nights and warm days start boiling tomorrow morning:cool:
I was up to Minden the weekend of mar 12 and 13. The weather was great, bright sunny warm days and cold nights. I made about 2.5 gallons of syrup. The next 5 days were rainy and cold, didn't get any more. If the weather is good on the Easter Weekend I'll try it again ...
Yes I am hoping for big things this easter weekend. I was away last week so need to catch up. I am just worried that I will arrive to blocks of ice in my buckets on friday.
the forcast looks a little cold later this week.
happy two get more sap to boil 150 gallons:cool:
Hey Gang. Anyone still going at thins point. Had a great boil last weekend. Made 15 Liters of the best tasting syrup so far this year. I am hoping that I can get one more boil this weekend.
hi all I tapped yesterday taps are running 80 taps:o:lol:
Hey that is great. I have not tapped yet. Planning to do it Saturday. Hopping to do around 60 taps this year. Looks like the cold is coming back for the next couple of weeks so I might still have some time to get things organized. I spent last weekend digging the evaporator out, and tried to get through the wall of snow off the main road to my bush road. These thaws, snow falls, and then freeze cycles are making for a sore back, and an overworked snow blower. My ATV plow has been useless. I am in need of a tractor with a 5 foot blower. Looks like a lot of manual sap hauling to start the season.Quote:

Hey all, I'm resurrecting this old thread for another year? Has anyone in the area started tapping? I just tapped 20 trees in the miners bay area.

No not yet. I hope I do not regret it. I did dig out the evaporator and am making some modifications to the arch.
Hey there Electrorecycler are those taps you put in running? I worried I am missing a run. I will be putting my taps in over the next couple of weekends if the forecast looks good.Quote:

They sure are! 19 taps produced about 20 gallons of sap yesterday. That's using a gravity system. I expect a good flow again today. So far I've collected about 75 gallons.Quote:

Alright finally heading up this weekend to tap as I am going to be away for March break. The long range is looking good right now. I hope I didn't miss too much of the season with these early runs. Might have to push my tap count up to 75 to maximize the rest of the season. I see some long Boils in my future.
