Two helpers looked tough too!

Paths are looking tough from heavy use this year.

 Saturday March 12th was another big day. Started out cool and sunny with trees dripping fast. We gathered at 9 am with Dale, John, Muff, Gerri, Bob, Kelsey, Brad, Bob, Cody & Jack getting 390 gallons. Spent a few hours doing some woods cleanup & grocery run. Muff made crockpot lasagna for lunch which turned out great and we had a nice peaceful meal for a change! Jack started the fire about 1:30. At five we went back out and collected 150 gallons more with Jim & family, Ted, Bob, Cody, Brad, Gerri, Ed, Chris and Charlie. Ted & Nancy spring cleaning & donated kindling! Cody was anxious to be done apparently as he made a fire that shot out clear out the stack. Guess we need Chuck to supervise that process! Total sap: 4,765 gallons.Total syrup: 99 gallons.
