Closed for skiing on March 12, Friday. Too warm and the road just went to mud. Very soft and muddy in quite a few places. So stay off for Friday, we will be skiing again on Saturday and Sunday, the temperature is suppose to drop and the road will freeze back up.

Ian will grind up the skiing for Saturday and Sunday, it will be a fast frozen granular.

The high temperature Friday 45º, and sunny, low Friday night 15º. Saturday’s high 34º and sunny, and Saturday night low, 23º. Sunday’s high temperature 32º and mostly sunny.

The road on Saturday will still be rutty and potholed, but will harden back up. Remember when dealing with mud. Aim high, drive slow, don’t stop.

We will be boiling on Friday, after we gather the rest of the sap. Time to sweeten the pans.

Cliff asked how many gallons of syrup per cord of firewood. On our evaporator, set up the way it is, my best guess, is about 20 gallons of syrup per cord of wood.
