Poling Pic up the Allagash Stream

Here's another vintage pic of poling in a cedar canvas canoe complete with pack basket! It looks like an image from “Tales from Misery Ridge: One Man’s Adventures in the Great Outdoors”  by Paul J. Fournier. Apparently the book was named the best book of 2011 by the New England Outdoor Writers Association.
