First taps are in. Hope to be done next week. Most mainlines are under snow.

Put 40 taps in on Saturday with tubing to pails. Snowshoes a must.

I hung my sapline through the woods last fall. Trails are waist deep, more of the white crap on the way this weekend. This winter has really sucked, except for snowmobiling. I'm making a quick trip on March 14-17th and may be able to tap after that. Looks like a decent warming trend after then next crappas comes. Hoping the powder will go quickly.

My property is on the Ashland/Bayfield county line. I could snowshoe in to the trees, but not sure how I'd lug the sap back to the cabin. Hoping this warming trend is slow and settles this snow quickly! Ready for some nights at the cabin.

Joe - a young, physically fit guy like you should be able to do everything on snowshoes!
However, I am going to wait until the snow drops a bit (quite a bit).
I made some trails last year with the snowmobile, worked ok but it was still a lot of work.

Taps are in. Snow depth 3ft. Better snow for snowshoes than last year.

I plan on tapping this friday and will probly have to use snowshoes to do it. i don't mind that so much as having to use a stepladder to collect when the snow melts!

:-) I am not so sure about the young, or physically fit part! I packed trails with the snowmobile yesterday, easily 2 1/2 - 3 foot deep currently. Hoping to tap next week after this brief warm up and predicted rain. Sure hope to get down and see your operation this year!
