Collected another 70 last night and boiled it down, one big draw and as it came to syrup in the pan again I was out of sap. Dumd my 5 gallons pail of sap in the back pan.. and opend the doors to the arch...... Still had clear sap yesterday but the weather is not looking good.

Finished up over the weekend. We ended up with 28 gallons on 275 taps, not exactly the numbers I was looking for. We will make some improvements over the summer and try again next year.
Going to hang in for at least this weekend here in Alexandria. Looks like conditions are going to turn around for a few days soon.
