Set out with snowshoes three weeks ago to pack snow and Mark trees following our well designed maps from last year which were laid out with a compass and range finder. Yesterday , 2/28 we were able to walk on the paths running the 11 lines of 3/16 with approx 250 taps. Today we plan on tapping as the forecast looks favorable for an earlier start to the flow for us. Early snow and lots of it reduced the frost in the ground which should play an important role in the flow.
Good luck and be safe!!!
