This is the Pushaw Road in Old Town, Maine (the official name is Poplar Street but we always called it the Pushaw Road). It's the road we would take (and still do) out to my family's camp on Pushaw Lake. There are two bogs on the way out and every spring the road would flood over. The people who lived on the lake would have to park their cars on the other side of the bog and be ferried over by boat or dump truck to their cars to get back into town. Sometimes if there was a thaw in the winter and a lot of rain it would also flood and freeze in the winter making it a real mess. The road has since been built up quite a bit so it doesn't usually flood this bad anymore. The fella standing by the Dodge is my grandfather Harold Winter. This picture was probably taken in the late 1960s (that appears to be a '65 Dodge behind the VW). A slide my Dad took with his old Leica camera. View full size.
