Hello jbelany! Welcome to the Maple Addition site! I'm in Barnes, just a bit south of you in Bayfield County. I have been making syrup for 5 years now. This will be my 6th. It is such an awesome time to get out in the woods again after being cooped up all winter. Congratulations on making 3 1/2 gallons your first year! I too use bags and 5 1/16" spiles. I'll bet that you are over 100 taps next year, as the addiction goes on and on! Cindy

100 sap sacks...Actually, I hope to never have to use them again!
