  • Canoeing and Camping on the West Branch of the Penobscot River.
    Donnie and I go for a canoe and camping trip on the upper West Branch of the Penobscot River above Lobster Lake and Seboomak Lake, below Chesuncook Lake and Ripogenus Dam.
    It's Donnies 64th year recreating in the North Maine Woods.
    Its cast and blast week in Maine. Salmon fishing with a fly rod and partridge hunting season is open too.
    We bring a metal detector to search for treasures in the wilderness at the old long forgotten and regrown logging camps and logging farms.
    Two part series.
    Donnie talks about how he was indoctrinated into the North Maine Woods by his mentor Al and introduces me to their ways.

    Thanks for the video. My summers were spent fishing on Moosehead, the Roach Ponds, Wilson Pond, Chesuncook Lake and the labyrinth of streams in this area when I was a kid in the 1970's. This brings back memories of how much my Dad loved that area.

    Thanks for introducing us to another character in the saga of the north Maine woods. What stories have flowed up and down that river. Reminds me of the stories from Edmund Ware Smith and his band of adventurers, Jakes Rangers. A mid coast man, as well, from Damariscotta. A lot of history in that river corridor. Looking forward to the next segment!!
