Real VT: Bartering for syrup

Greg from Pages Within bartered MP3s for syrup.

So, last week marked the height of sugaring season here in Vermont, andthat meant that everywhere you drove in the state you could find smokebillowing from the sides of mountains, where it before seemd impossiblethat houses even existed. As I rode my bike to school last week, Icould swear I could smell cooking sap mixed with woodsmoke everywhere.

Ah, Vermont.
