Well, it's been a few days since I have posted pics etc. We gathered Wed morning in the rain, but quit at noon because everything was getting covered with ice and the guys were soaked. We didn't go back and gather until Friday afternoon after it warmed a bit and the ice fell off the trees. Yesterday and today we gathered around 2800 gal. of sap. The Cousin fired the evaporators at 6:00am this morning, and they should shut down about 10:00 tonight. I'm guessing we will have made 65gal. of syrup today. The wood pile is about gone.

They are that way hours at a time when we are boiling. The last pic is of the ice that coated all the trees Thursday.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible.
