Into the woods by 4:30 AM to cook. Back to the farmhouse by 8:30 AM. The aroma changed from the nice maple aroma to a steamy maple aroma. That’s a sign the season is ending. Sunny and up to 65.
Back into the woods by 2:30 PM to collect the tail-end of the weekend run. Another 85 gallons. But that’s the end. With higher temperatures the sap doesn’t keep. Back to the farmhouse by 4:30 PM.
