I really wanted to tap some sap one year. I was going to buy the taps and I had a place to do it. Then the day before I was going to go out, the landowner (my dads work friend) decided he didn’t want me to. Wouldn’t give me a reason, but it is his land so I didn’t press him for a reason. Couldn’t find another place to do it lol.

I am going to do it this spring. No way am i not. I can drive now  ;D ;D

Iowabow used to post about his tapping adventures. When his son got into high school he got interested running the route on the 4 wheeler, switching out the buckets, etc. One year he brought a small bottle out to Turkey Camp and everyone loved it!

A little bit to early here in NW Penna., ya need below 32 at nite and above 32 in the day, haven't been above freezing here for quite awhile and doesn't seem to be warming anytime soon, Our season snow fall is way below normal though only about 50" so far ;D  Bob

Hawkdancer:
Out here in western Nebraska, we are looking at sub zero by a long ways for the next week, might get back to freezing by Next Thursday!  Maybe -17 Sunday!  Don't think there are any sugar maples around here.
