    gotta think there are some at some of the cross-country ski areas in VT i was hoping to see.
    Thanks to the 'WV maple man' Mike Rechlin for facilitating, we have some at a cross-country ski farm here in WV that is a new thing this year. we are trying out co-existing with farming and recreation all 3/16, so you cant really see them going over the trail well, but they run along the sides also, so thinking of putting up some signs for the tourists that have questions. Agritourism as they call it

    I no longer have my lease where I had to cross snowmobile trails nor do I take many pictures, but 4-5 years ago, I had a lease where the mainlines went over woods trails. I just had extra support posts to hold the lines up high enough, for that I had to start the lines a hundred or even 2 hundred feet upstream of the road on one line, to keep enough slope for sap flow. On two I had to use a sap ladder to get the elevation needed. My posts were just rough cut 1x4 or 1x6, with a plastic chain link strap attached to hold the tubing. like this https://www.zoro.com/prolock-poly-ch...B&gclsrc=aw.ds
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
