Saturday March 24, 2018




Brad, Evan, Bob and Jack worked on cutting some wood with the sawmill this cool afternoon.

Dry enough to take the forklift into the woods today!


Goal today was to finish processing the sap we left on Thursday (about 250 gallons). We added a bit with 140 gallons this afternoon. We think it likely ran some yesterday and a little today. At noon the clouds rolled in and with a little breeze and hi temp of 37, not much likely ran today.


Blessed once again with great help! Kelsey and Evan were here today as well as Brad, Adam and Katie. Nancy and Sue Ann came as well as Dale. And of course Bob and Jack, and Susan R.ventured out on another dry day!



Katie has gotten stronger haha!

 Adam, shooting for perfect attendance award, back again!

 Even the tank needs a bath!

Brad drew the short straw having to remove the mud from wally's tracks. Brad ended up breaking the handle on the hoe. Apparently this was a special hoe to Bob. Dale's face says it all about the weather.
The griddle is out of the camp today so we switched it up to the grill. pork loin was good guys!

Visited and had many fun conversations tonight about absolutely nothing. Ed and daughter came to visit tonight and get the camp tour. Enjoyed their company.


Large number of people relax and watch Adam and Jack work.
Total sap today: 140 + 3 gallons
Total sap to date:3,825 plus 193
Total syrup off today: 7.5gallons
Total syrup off to date: 69 gallons
