Why do we do it ? because its all about the experience, and making some great syrup from our own woods. You mentioned putting wood in every 2 hours at night, our evaporator takes an arm load of wood every 6 minutes. So my day dreaming cost time, syrup, and money. Had 3 above this morning in Lodi hope the sap I gathered Sunday is still liquid. its covered up with tarps and snow. Keep in touch.
