    Collected another gallon per tap today to keep the boil going from yesterday. A couple trees look like they are getting there but most of my Forrest trees look really good yet. Sap is still clear and tastes great. Sand looks to be bad but I’m gonna keep chugging away. I have plenty of wood since the year sucked so bad so I might as well try to use some of it up! Next 3 or 4 days look “right” but who knows at this point. Should be at 60% of last year after todays boil.
    2014 - 15 taps
    2015 - 20 taps
    2016 - 25 taps
    2017 - 60 taps - added sugar shack and first evaporator
    2018 - 70 taps on Bags
    2019 - 90 taps - new 2x4 corsair with hybrid pro pan from Smokey Lake

    We did our last boil today. Will finish everything in the evaporator tomorrow and clean up and be done. Should have 75+ gals of syrup.

    Smoky Lake will have a filtering demonstration this Saturday. They asked me to bring my products again, so I will be there.
