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, and that meant that everywhere you drove in the state you could find smoke billowing from the sides of mountains, where it before seemd impossible that houses even existed. As I rode my bike to school last week, I could swear I could smell cooking sap mixed with woodsmoke everywhere.

Ah, Vermont.
