arrangements with the proprietor. The river location affords 

 quick-water fishing virtually at the cabin door. Address: Patten, 

 or Shin Pond P.O., Maine. 



Al Nugent's Camps on Chamberlain Lake and Hall's Camps 

 on Munsungun Lake are both true wilderness camps, best 

 reached by plane. Nugent is a genius with an axe. His cabin 

 floors are hand-hewn and pegged with wooden pegs. Address 

 Nugent's Camps, Chesuncook, Maine, and Hall's Munsungun 

 Camps, Portage, Maine. 



Point-of-Pines Camps on Upper Shin Pond, though less wilder- 

 ness in concept and category, is a good introduction. Address: 

 Shin Pond, Maine. 



Foster's Wilderness Camps on Mattagamon (or Grand) Lake 

 are the product of A. C. "Chub" Foster and his wife, Frances. 

 Foster, like other camp owners, is a highly-skilled guide, woods- 

 man and canoeman. His wife, likewise at home in the forest, a 

 canoe, or her kitchen, is an extremely capable cook. She can show 

 you a menu card of the Plaza Hotel, New York, on which is 

 listed: "Graham Cracker Pie, a la Frances Foster." You can fly in 

 to these camps from Shin Pond in twelve minutes, or you can 

 drive twenty miles from Shin Pond to the Fire Warden's camp 

 on Mattagamon Lake, where Foster will meet you by boat. Res- 

 ervations are necessary. Address: A. C. Foster, Patten, Maine. 



This much you can expect from Maine wilderness camps: the 

 proprietor will arrange fishing, hunting, and canoe trips. He will 

 either act as your guide himself or provide reliable guides for 

 your party. He will show you the best of a region full of Maine's 

 wildest scenery where moose, bear, and deer are common sights. 

 His wife will provide excellent meals. And at night you will rest 

 in a good bed with forest air drifting through the screens. 



To anyone contemplating a visit to a Maine wilderness sport- 

 ing camp, the Appalachian Trail Club guide book is an almost 

 essential preview. Priced at $1.25, the Katahdin Section (specify 

 this) of the Maine Appalachian Trail Guide is obtainable by 

 addressing the Appalachian Trail Conference, Washington, 

 D. C. For general information address your questions to the 

 Maine Development Commission, Augusta, Maine.
