Tuesday, March 24th, Vernon County friends I am wishing you the success I enjoyed as I gathered sap today. 49 out of 50 trees now playing ball. 46 gallons collected and who knows how much ice I tossed out of each bucket. My guess is at least 2 or 3 gallons total from the buckets. Snow was 14 inches deep and a pain. I need to cut the width of my yoke. It worked great today except for catching on a few small trees. I realized that the cross piece only has to be a bit wider than than my shoulders. May you find abundant sap on your next walk in the woods. And that is the story from Irish Ridge, Crawford County.
