    Sap started to run good about 2:00 this afternoon for me . Woods that are piped to the sugar shack hang cold until things are right . Well things are right , she let loose this after noon , like a garden hose left cracked open The other 3 places are running good too . Game on ! Good luck guys .

    long day today , best run in 24 hours than I have seen in a few years . Two places I tap ran all night , still running . Valley where sugar house is froze for a brief time , started running about ten , all sap combined tested 2.6 on my Hanna Dig. Back at it in the mourning . Hot shower - eat - good night !! Frist draw dark - went to amber rest of the day .
