    Default Minden/ Haliburton

    Just wondering if anyone has had a decent run of sap in this area yet. I tried on March break, the temp was up to 4 on the Mon. and 7 on the Tuesday, but all I got was a dribble in some of the pails.( even though the temperature was good there was a cold wind blowing) Anytime that I have been up to Minden since, there has been poor weather. The forecast for the weekend and beyond is looking good, but I won't get excited till I see the pails filling up. Has anyone else had a good run or made any syrup yet?





    20 trees currently tapped but not dripping, will tap about 50 if we get some good weather

    I have had about 50 buckets out since the week before march break, and over the last 2 weeks got about 20 gallons of sap and 3 5 gallon buckets of ice chunks. Looking to boil this weekend though. I am ready.

    I have 20 taps in. Just dribbles. It seems like all I am doing is tramping the trails down, considering the snow is 3 - 4 feet everywhere. But I am ready to go, hoping for something starting this weekend.
