I guess the season is over for the Lavoie 's sugar shack crew. We thought we had a little more boiling in us tasted the syrup coming off the evaporator little off. Tomorrow we will start removing our taps. It wasn't our best year ,but we did make some good syrup considering we missed a couple of good runs. We will be going out to see some sugar shacks this weekend. Good luck to the rest of you. Lee

Heard the peepers last night. That is an indication the season is over. Start cleaning up and putting things away. It will be a little easier washing the walls and the floor this year. The hardest part about sugaring.
