    3-10-16. Collected today at noon in Whitehall. I got about 100 gallons out of 250 taps. One or two buckets getting yellow and all of it was just starting to become the tiniest bit cloudy

    Collected everything today ,started with 700 gallons , finished the day with 15 gallons dark robust. Best day to date, Ill need to clean the pans before the weekend run if we get one. Somewhere around 58 gallons so far maybe a little more, great season so far .The sap didn't budge today, the only place to have any run was the Guzzler line and that was around 60 gallons running 24 hours straight, not a good number for the Lets bring on Friday supposed to get a cold night might make for a great weekend , Good luck all ,Allen

    Still hanging in there. Lost the ice chunks in the tanks today. Milk tanks are saving my a??. Collected everything and RO is running now. Boil all of it tomorrow. Then clean pans and hope it hold out thru next week. Weather looks better long range if we make it.

    Sap is still running. It's quality is starting to fade a little. Switch over to "dark robust" last night or Dark Amber as I still prefer to call it.

    I made 11 gallons over the weekend , Dark robust syrup even after cleaning pans on Friday . Sap is running at 1.5 % hoping it comes back after a cold snap. 70 gallons for the season so far , I emptied the bulk tank today and Ive got 300 to collect and boil tomorrow , looks like it might get cold Friday night and the weekend , I fear the end is coming near LOL !! Been a good season so far wood pile is still looking good , Im hoping to make it through the weekend and call it good. No buds on any trees here but a few miles down the road the soft maples near the lake are all budded out . Have a good week all ,Allen

    Here in east Whitehall I am calling it a season. Things are yellowing quickly and starts to get a sour smell. Came close to 25 gallons in 5 days, I have to finish canning to get my final count. Not bad for all wood fired without RO.
