Well I decided yesterday Friday it was time to tap. Went out and put in 80 taps. To my big surprise it ran a bit. In 4 hours I collected 5 gallons of sap. Not even enough to get boiling. I need at least 40 gallons to have a good 4 hours burn. Today does not look good so I think I will freeze the sap to keep it fresh.
However it was encouraging to see the spills dripping! The snow is so deep it is not funny. lucky enough the turkeys made a trail that helped quite a bit but snow shoes are a must. Any body else got some sap yesterday?
