Thursday March 7, 2013
An overcast day with a little wind and again a good run with 430 gallons collected. Bob made a fire and boiled enough to empty the top tank. Chris, Dan, Muff & 2 friends of hers, Dean, Adam, Ted, Dale, Karen, Gerri, Susan and yes Mr. New Boots Mark even showed up.Brad drove most of the way. Muff and Karen each made some food to share. This was by far the biggest crew and quickest gather yet (in about the nicest weather as well). Longest boil for Bob as our boilermaker back in sick bay. Lola got nice & muddy which we hope will help to deskunk one more layer off of her. Likely more sap tomorrow.




 Mr New Boots showed up on a night with perfect weather and food.
 Food & fun after exercise.
 Found the problem, watched pot never boils.
Hanging on for dear life. Not sure Brad is all that great of a driver.

Total sap: 1865 gallons

Total syrup:  40.5    gallons
