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.

20 of 24 taps running well today. Got 7 gallons. First boil tomorrow afternoon.
I got 50 taps in this weekend, and now I am panicking, because I am going away for march break. Looks Like I am due for a sick day later this week. Anyone have any updates for this area.
