Drove to Merrill, WI today to pickup supplies: bottles, PVC sap sak holders and bags, stainless steel holder for sap hydrometer. And several cans of root beer made with maple syrup. It’s yummy.

43 overnight. Cloudy again today. Tonight should freeze. Snow flurries in Merrill.

Left the farmhouse at 6:30 AM. Back by 3:30 PM. Stopped twice on the way there and three times on the way back, including 40 minutes for lunch. 269 miles total.
