Sunday....M-A-R-A-T-H-O-N Boil!

We had the longest and most marathon-type boil today. While I was enrout back from Skiing, Tim had his sap and had the evaporator fired up at 7am. It is 8:15 pm and we just got done, and we didn't even finish it. We boiled down over 150 gallons of sap, to the finish pan. Currently we have around 8 gallons of "sweet" which we will finish and bottle Monday night.

We have our work cut out for us though...The buckets are soaking and we have 40 gallons in storage for next weekend. Should be another fun weekend ahead!

More later...
