Still reeling from the excitement of Iron Furnace, we decided to go to Sugar Hill, and see if we couldn't find a bag of candy. After all, the town is home to Polly's Pancake Parlor...We stopped at a little country store (across from Carolina Crapo Memorial. I bet Crapo wasn't always an embarrassing last name) and apparently this store was the place to be on a Sunday afternoon in Sugar Hill. There were free cheese samples (and I'm talking your Cabot variety of cheese, which is fine, but not exactly hard to come by) and there was a huge line up of people waiting to get at the little salty cubes of goodness. It was so crowded, that Lizzie and I slipped out as quickly as possible, sans cheese (which they ship from coast-to-coast by the way, in case your Market Basket is out of the Cabot Sharp Cheddar that day) but not before reading the back of a cd of songs about bears.
Just a note on local politics, apparently there is a HVDC power line being proposed to cut through NH, and everyone is (understandably) upset about it. They have coined the moniker "Live Free or Fry" based, of course, on New Hampshire's famous motto "Live Free or Die" (GOD. CALM DOWN NEW HAMPSHIRE) and Lizzie and I couldn't stop imagining the board meeting where this slogan was decided upon. They must've been so pleased with themselves. Also, Lizzie and I grew up next to high voltage power lines, and we're JUST FINE, as you can tell from this entire blog...
Good luck in your fight, New Hampshire peoples.
