As Winter Passes the Half-Way Point It Is Maple Sap Time


It is late January and that means a lot of things, but one that has become a tradition is the tapping of the Maple Trees. This is the fifth year that I have tapped Sugar Maple Trees to different degrees of success. Year one good sap, year two not so much, year three was the best season, but last year was oaky. However, this year is the first year I did everything on my own.



In the past, Dad has drilled the holes, but I did that plus washing the buckets, getting the spiles and such. So, if things don't go well I will only have one Wood Booger to blame. I will do an update blog at some point and I am also going to tap trees at the Cabin, so stay tuned...
