A generation ago the sportsman who visited the wilds of Maine 

 usually found but primitive modes of conveyance to his point of destina- 

 tion. After leaving the railroad, which had brought him from the city, his 

 journey was continued for many miles in old-fashioned mail wagons and 

 on buckboards, or in farm wagons. In many instances even these were 

 not available, and he plodded along on foot over the roughest " tote roads " 

 or trails, his baggage being hauled on wood sleds or carried on horseback. 

 If his objective point was one of the great lakes, he was obliged to engage 

 guides and a boat in advance of his contemplated trip, and was rowed to 

 the place he desired to reach. 



In the opinion of many, the old-fashioned are still the preferable 

 methods of travel. They say that they go into the wilderness, not for 

 luxurious modes of transportation, not for especial comforts and the con- 

 veniences that are to be found at home, but rather for the great change, 

 the absolute departure from their ordinary lives, that the outing gives them.
