    No, I don't do fakebook. But I did finish up all the taps on my line this morning and the Shurflo is running. 123 taps on the line. Excited to see what the trees have given me once I get home tonight.
    More taps than the year before. Bigger shack than the year before. Leader Patriot 2x6 w/hood. 3-post Dolly, but still too much sap and not enough wood or time.

    Hey Dill, That is me looking for trees! I am on 102 in Raymond (through the woods from blueberryhill) I am looking to reach 500 taps. That is ambitious but a good goal. If you know of a good bush let me know or even single trees. I have tried to get in touch with a women in Deerfield who has a bush set up from a guy a bought a finisher off of. He and his brother dont sugar anymore and said I was welcome to it. It was a different landowner while they were there. I have reached out to her with no response. Do you know where this may be?

    Looks like their is a few of us in the Raymond 102 area. Well I pulled the trigger today and put in 20 taps, most were running decent, i will put in a few more tomorrow. This is the earliest I have tapped by about 2 weeks.
    Started in 2013 with 15 taps on buckets and a turkey frier.
    Now 2020, 250 taps, 3/16's with vac. 10x14 sugarhouse. 2x6 Leader raised flue. Homemade 50 gal per hour RO.

    Gonna have to have a Rt 102 sugaring party! Didnt realize there were that many people sugaring this way. Do you guys know of any properties that dont tap that have a decent number of sugar maples?

    It would be interesting having a sugar meeting, I need to learn lots about making maple I am sure most of what I do would give a veteran a laugh.

    you are more then welcome to stop by during the season. My sugarhouse (reclaimed building on property) is a constant work in progress but its 26x24 so there is plenty of room for people. I am always learning and thats one of the things I like about it, you can always learn something new from others. Ill PM my address.
