Hello All, This blog is to document my adventures back into making maple syrup. Its been 20 years since I made maple syrup. Finally bought a place with some land and young maple trees.

Tapping and Fixing with my Daughter

Today my daughter and I went out to fix the one line that was down. We also put in an additional 15 taps. These were all on tree we plan on cutting in the spring (Cull trees).  They are to close to the trees I plan on keeping or in poor health; are broken at the top or have been damaged by these darn grape vine that are everywhere in the woods.  I show my daughter how we used to tap trees with a brace and a bit.  She was able to tap two trees before she wanted to switch back to the cordless drill.
