Should be around 4,500 gallons tomorrow. Yes, temps are rising although if they say 60s, temps will probably be in the 50s on the mountain. Probably will be done this weekend, looking at Sunday hopefully. We were nervous with the start of the season but turning out to be a good year for us. The hard work prior and during the season paid off, thankfully the weather didn't ruin it for us.

Turn off the lights, the party is over.
All done with a final boil today, sap is getting ropey.
We should be around 4,780 gallons. Was hoping for a better year but all vonsidering, we did fairly good.
Best run of the season was a little over 35,000 gallons of sap in 24hrs. Almost over flowed our 8,400 gallon tank a few times. Won't be adding tas this year.
Have a good off season.

Well it's a little early for this thread to show up, but I have been kicking around reading other threads and seeing lots of people on lately.
So is everyone ready for this wild ride this season? I have a gut feeling and here's my prediction, lots of sap, once this warm weather spell we are in breaks watch out.
I'm think buy the end of January I will be tapped which will only be apprx 2 weeks earlier then average.
I'm in the process of adding 3-400 taps now, and that's all I can get out of this woods. Should be 100%
So what are your feelings and whatcha been up to.
