    Nice. Nearly 4 gallons per tap is a great first run! Looks like you're just about on the Cape. Bit different weather-wise from the Berkshires.

    Hope the rest of your season goes great!

    well time to pull the taps done for this year, all in all pretty good season We usually make about one gallon and this year made 2, it did seem like a lot of sugar sand this year more than previous years but still fun!
