    220 Maple Report,
    Recieved a call from my helper 4 pm Sunday, he suggested I get some sleep while I'm away from the camp because I'm not going to get much when I show up Monday,Tuesday and half a day wednesday, I was informed I had 110 gallons of syrup that needs to be finished.
    And the potential exist for two or more days of freezing nights. BigSap Warning will be issued again. I may need advice from Big Sap Theron on how to survive the deludge?

    Default Shipped Syrup

    Today I mailed 2 quarts of syrup to my former WV neighbor, They were addicted and was willing to pay the cost of mailing. From the Mountains in West Virginia to Pineville, Oregon.
    I guess I should get a map posted in the Sugar Camp so I could show how far our name has made it. Quote from Rhoda B. "A good name goes far, a bad one goes further". That what she always said to Henry when he gets calls from people who had purchased his syrup somewhere.
