Would be hard pressed to find a hill around here anyways. Flat as a table around my place. You couldn't even run garvity lines here without being way up a tree on the far end.
I guess I need to invent a freezer unit and RO sap by freezeing it.
maybe 50 taps for 2011
Finally ready to boil when I get enough sap
I just might be crazy.( make that I know I am)
Trees all tapped except the ones with 5 feet of snow.
Enough rabbits to keep Elmer busy..
