Hi John,

Just wanted to tell you that your video of Darling Hill was one of your best, and that I've sent YouTube  links to friends who also enjoyed it. Darling Hill looks like what we think all of New England used to look like and should look like now. Another one of those "if it isn't true, it should be" things. One friend that's seen the video recently migrated from Vermont to New Hampshire, and accused me of encouraging her to move back to Vermont. She described the video as "so pastoral." I pointed out to her that the farms on Darling Hill didn't look like a typical northern New England working farm (no rusted farm equipment scattered about, no manure piles, no abandoned snowmobiles bleaching in the summer sun,  no random junk in the back yard) By any chance, is most of the property on Darling Hill owned by folks from away?

Anyway, I liked it and my friends and family liked it, so it doesn't matter if places like Darling Hill are the "real" northern New England, it's what northern New England should have been.
