Good Old Days But while their numbers are diminishing, there are still a few Mam; guides who look back wth fond memories to what they regard as the good old days. One of the oldest working guides is Joe King of Rockwood, who began guiding hunor ters and fishermen sports" as they were referred to back then as a youth of 15. King, who runs sporting camps along the Moose River, feels todays guides are no match for those of the They were past. stronger, they worked harder and they put in longer days, says King, recalling the times when he would take parties in the woods for a month or six weeks at a stretch. Tales of the Woods On lengthy canoe trips down the St. John or the Allagash, guides would entertain their sport with tales of the Maine woods while cooking hearty meals over a campfire. Everything now is all in cans, King says. King still guides fishermen on Moosehead Lake, but its from his sleek motorboat, rather than a canoe. "Now its kind of a vacation for me to guide, to sit in the boat." he says. Part of the guides image stems from the mystique of Maines North Woods, 10 million acres of spruce and fir forest dotted with lakes and streams.
