Well, clearly it’s way to early but when you look at the temps the next 10 days they look like mid-March.
I will put in one tap just out of curiosity and report back.

Well I have pic to post but it won’t load. The bag I put up eight day ago has produced a quart.

Again I have a pick but can't get it loaded. Any advice?
Since 1/27 the sugar maple in my yard had only produced 1/2 to 3/4 gallon of sap. That's 13 days.
I am glad I did not go tap.

As far as your picture, you will have to upload a link to your picture and put in on one of the photo hosting websites. There seems to be little effort in getting the picture posting problem fixed on here.Originally Posted by Greenfin

I know some guys on vacuum are having decent runs here in Clark county this past week. The few I've heard on bags/buckets, not so much. I know I'm holding off for awhile yet.
I went to settings to see what the limit was for photos and it's like 250kb. What trailcam should i use for that? Guess they want no pictures hogging their memory.
seem to have peaked @ 20 taps: bags on hangers
Homemade RO
