I
had the distinct pleasure of
visiting with Mike and being
a guest at his facility at
Allagash Sporting Camps in
June of 2006. This retreat
is spectacular. Newly
renovated lodge and cabins
greet you as you turn the
corner but you better open
your eyes wide at the
millions of acres of
unspoiled beauty before you.
Located on the banks of the
Allagash River in Allagash
Maine, the Allagash Sporting
Camps have something you
can't build from a stick of
wood. It has personality and
hospitality that is second
to none. Whether your coming
for a canoe trip or tracking
down a trophy whitetail
buck, the welcome mat comes
out. I look forward to
returning to the Allagash
again soon.

During
the spring and summer
months, fishing and canoeing
are part of the offerings at
the Allagash Sporting Camps.
Guided trips are available
as well as transportation.
In the above photo Mike has
his fleet of Old Town canoes
lined up and ready for
action. Right after this
photo was taken, more than
half of these crafts were
taken up river with a group
of Girl Scouts on a weekend
adventure down the Allagash
Wilderness Waterway.

The
newly renovated main lodge
is spectacular. Mike has put
hours of time not only in
the construction by all the
decorating and fine touches
to make it unique. This
photo shows the front of the
main lodge decorated with
antlers and other
collectables. In the view,
the front several feet is a
large addition that seats
about 20 hungry people. It
also can be used as a
classroom or meeting space.

Spacious
and modern kitchens are
welcomed amenities in the
cabins that are part of the
property. As you can see the
kitchen provides ample room
for all your needs.
Below shows bunks with more
than enough room to stow
your gear and spread out and
relax.

Inside
the main lodge, you are
greeted by a friendly staff
of cooks. Helen is getting
ready to serve up some fresh
Maine lobster along with New
York sirloins. I couldn't
seem to get away from all
the fresh baked desserts.
From the kitchen leading
down the hallway to more
bunk rooms is a sight not
seen by many people. The
picture can better tell its
own story than my words.

After
a day in the field fishing,
hunting, canoeing or hiking,
there's nothing more
enjoyable than coming back
to camp and spending a few
minutes gathered around a
brisk outdoor campfire
sharing war stories. Ever
noticed how the fish get
longer, the rack of horns
bigger and the whitewater
faster when told around a
campfire?

While
I was visiting the Allagash
Sporting Camps, Mike was
hosting the Annual Big Buck
Tracking School put on by
the Benoit Brothers of
Vermont. In this photo Bob
McMasters of New Hampshire
instructs a group of hunters
in GPS use. The Allagash has
big woods and knowing how to
get back home is a good
think to know. The new
addition to the lodge not
only seats hungry outdoors
people for meals but as was
done here, it doubles as a
classroom.
