    We're approaching 2,900, still behind on our goal but heading in right direction. Around 1,500 gph of sap this afternoon.

    I know a guy in Island Pond that I think is still going.

    He got a really late start to his season though.

    sjdoyon- Looks like your in for a very good season. I have been watching you're weather and it looks very good. Keep it going and keep us posted. I predict you're going to make 5042 gallons. Anyone care to join in? Good luck to you.

    Woke up this morning to 4 inches of fresh snow. Weather man says more to come tonight. Yesterday the kids and I pulled 4000 spouts. I don't know if I should pull the spouts on my new woods or turn the vacuum back on. This has been a crazy season for sure.

    a couple producers by me have been filling their tanks every day since Monday! I had to stop for other reasons then maple, but I'm watching $ signs fly out the door every day... a little depressing! definitely an odd season!

    we are still going. We got some little freezes earlier this week that kept us alive, the last week and a half have been consistant flow. Hit 5.4lbs/tap yesterday.
