Not much of a freeze last night. My tubing didn't run much though some of the colder buckets ran half a pail. Hoping for a good freeze tonite and some sap tomorrow. Playing a Bluegrass gig in Franconia NH tonite till 1 AM so I'll be back at it tomorrow.

Got down to 20 degrees last night and near 50 today. Sap ran good, gathered at 2-3 PM and picked up a full 425 gallon tank. Got 10 gallons of Fancy/Medum. Sap still trickling out and I expect another 400 gallons of sap will be ready to pick up in the morning.

Beautiful product Perry. Nice pictures, but man am I jealous....wood envy! Good luck up North, and I hope the season hangs in for you for a while more. I'm MAYBE going go get one last little run tomorrow, but after that I'm done.

Thanks. Looks like next tuesday is going to be a warm one w/ forecast highs of 60-70 deg. That may end it for me, but there may be a few freezes between now and then and I should easily make my 110 gallons. Off to check the sap lines before the big run today!Originally Posted by Greyfox

Wow thats awesome that your still going strong...im starting to get nervous up here. Even in my cold bush the tree tops are shimmering red and all my reds are really getting fuzzy looking!!! The past 2 nights have been in the 20s so im hoping that todays sap is still going to be good. Going to run it through tomorrow and keep my fingers crossed...everything i've made so far has been light. Glad that i have a few people that love light syrup!Goodluck!
