We tapped ~150 last Saturday. Not a lot of snow in our bush compared to even a short distance to the north.
Had good flows on Tuesday and Friday. First boil yesterday.
Went to collect last night and were not able to. With the melting and refreezing, our trail has turned into a skating path and there was no getting anywhere near the trees with the collection tank. Today's challenge is to figure out what to do about it. If I can't get up the little hill with an empty tank, no way I want to be coming down with a full one!
And carrying sap from 150 trees in pails 500m then down the treacherous hill is not a plan.

Every year there's a new challenge!
