I just moved to Wawa! To retire and learn the rivers and lakes, and of course, the Big Lake. But i`m a traditionalist and am in love with canoes, the 16 ` prospector is good enough for Bill Mason, it`s good enough for me. I LOVE WAWA. (and my wife does too, bonus!)
lived in wawa in the sixties, did a load of watercolours,some of which i sold. worked at hobon as a treeplanter for three years, did some guiding then hitched the highways of ontario then moved to england. i miss the landscape a lot . still in touch with some of friends like larry bond and bill sillanpaa. good guys.
Used to live in the Sault but worked in the logging business around Wawa, White River, Hawk Junction, Chapleau area. I miss it greatly and loved the video. Cheers from Calgary!
i use to live in white river and wawa and i loved it more then any other place i have lived in in canada and i have lived in pretty much every province and territory
Camped with my kids at a KOA years ago. It was a neat town and very friendly. We enjoyed the goose and the water falls nearby.I would love to visit again soon.
Hi Ya'll from Findlay,Ohio. I lived on Manitoulin for 10 yrs, mother&brother still do. Brother and Dad both worked in fly in camps out of Hornepayne for 2 seasons.Dad stayed in till moose hunt was over.Beautiful country!
hey don wawa is the best town i have ever visted in my life. it is awesome so down to earth. I would love to live there. it has the best fishing around. nice vid once again.
This song was inspired by a friend who teaches in Southern Ontario.He has a camp on Kabinong Lake and comes up here with his family (for 25 years)every summer.
We did a trip around Lake Superior and our first night was in Wawa :)and secnd in a b&b in Thunder Bay. We saw an amethyst mine and come to learn at bkft next morning that the couple digging in a hole were at the b&b. Great news, eh? I'm originally from the U.P. of Mich so I can speak with a good Canadian accent, eh!
Hi Joan, thanks for your comment - Wawa is a special place...to a lot of people. I remember coming here as a kid in the early 60's...some of the people I met back then are still good friends and a few have returned...also met a very nice girl here and got married!
Thanks for checking out the video...please send your video response again as the first one is frozen in time...Wawa is the best small town...or is it?
Just posted January 10, 2012 Been in Wawa 3 weeks!! Gotta get the ice hut on the lake asap!
