The rustic derrick pole was cut by Chris Lawlor as a replacement for a broken one. Chris cut it on his “uncle’s back lot” his way of saying that he cut it on Acadia National Park land (Uncle Sam’s land) somewhere on the back side of Freeman Ridge with a two-man cross-cut saw; Chester Warren Stanley and Chris Lawlor cut it. Chris’ horses hauled it out.
