First Boil of 2013
Friday and Saturday we spent the day cleaning up the lines and tapping about 200 trees. By four in the evening we had 225 gallons of sap ready to boil. Everything went well, we had a big croud show up and had a good time. Some that showed up even helped out. Here is a youtube video of last night.
