I finished tapping and am ready to go. Looks like next wk. is the beginning of many wks. (hopefully). Ended up with 150 tapped, and like JuniparHill I keep finding trees. Unfortunatley I think my finances are tapped out.

The sap was dripping a little even up at our place. It faces north and is cold, but it was doing something today. We may have a season after all!
