Its tough out there. Yesterday was too crusty for snowshoes. And Josh's boulder fields just looked flat. This morning, I took out part of a landowner's shack trying to plow out a turnaround. My brother was tapping his roadside trees yesterday. And said it was the hardest he's done. Toss the barrel over the plow drift and jump down, into what is usually a ditch. Took him and his fiance, 4 hours for 100 taps. Had to dig the barrels down in the drifts to maintain slope. Good news is the sap will stay cold.
