Wawa Snow Can Oh my! Rob sent me this one - titled "Cute". lol! Yes, that's a can of paint in the middle of the floor!
May 6th - the snow is almost gone! May 5th - Kevin and the gang are having a blast!
May 1st - still snow on the trail....
April 28th - still snow on the trail by the barn.
Today we will put the water on in the Restaurant, Breakfast Room & John's Dad's future house. He's moving in next week. Hilarious! Roberta sent me these - How's mi Engrish?
April 18 - Doug from the Northern Lights Ford Dealership next door came and plowed us out! Whooooooo He's our HERO!
It's melting fast, we might be able to open earlier. John's dad was supposed to move into the Cottage this weekend.......
Marty sent me this - Real Life Garfield! lol! April 12 pics...... When will it EVER melt?
This
drift will reach the roof by tomorrow. It's an absolute BLIZZARD out there now. The highway is closed from the Soo to White River.
OMG!
This is INSANE.....
Wow! Look at the difference in one week!
A Big Happy Birthday to my niece Hillary!!
April 1st - Mother Nature is playing a great April Fools joke on us! Highway 17 to the Soo is closed because of the Snow Storm. HIGH winds and drifting snow. All the paths are drifted in. The snow didn't settle on the Snow Gauge though. (It melted about 6 inches in yesterday's warmth)
Here's a picture for you - this is taken from inside the Motel Office. This drift is now up to my NECK and runs the length of the building.
Of Course, this snow did not happen just last night. We've been buried all winter without any meltdown. Here's a picture I took of the bottom 10 Motel Rooms yesterday.
End of March and warm temps in sight! Yahooooooo!!
Past year's snow near the end of March??? Hey Spring Sledders. You know that the trails are amazing and that the snow isn't going anywhere.
Mom sent me this pic of a Redneck Mansion. Looks pretty nice to me! lol!
We are in a Winter Storm Watch. We'll bury the 4th case today.......... It'd be nice if the town had some Snowmobilers and we had this weather. But, I went into town yesterday and I never saw anything so quiet in my life. It reminded me of New York in the movie "I am Legend", without the weeds. lol
For anyone that thinks it's springtime here....... Think again! We are in the dead of winter with cold temps still coming! I came back from the Soo today, Here's Bathtub Island.....
Remember this picture of Katherin Cove I took Feb 6th??
Here it is March
22nd
Donna sent me these pictures. A fellow in Anchorage has been feeding bears in his yard for 25 years and says they are his friends!
OK...... I Will NOT complain about the snow! Check out the pics from Yesterday's Snow Storm in Newfoundland!
lol!! Scott Muhlenkamp sent a nice Wawa poem!!
Past Years snow in the Middle of March - it's so odd that it feels like there's so much snow and that winter has been going on for too long. But it's approx the same snow as the past years - except for last year of course.
Helen, my friend from Regina sent me this one.... hee hee... Why do women have 2 hands?
Why do Men have 2 hands?

There's no change in snow, it's still reeeeeally cold! But it's Sunday! Check out today's Secrets March 7 - Hot tubbin and beer drinkin with Kami, Bryan and Jerry!
Ken Reece took some AMAZING photos.... again! I'm ordering the 1st Fox Print! He's the cutest Fox I've seen........ He looks like he just came from the Groomers. lol!
Check out Ken Reece's Photo Album for more amazing photos. Here's a nice one he took of Wawa Lake - March 3rd
Ken Reece and Kelly were riding the area all weekend. The west Loop and Wawa trails. He'll post pics soon and I'll post a link. Here's a joke from Steve..... I love it! A man robs a bank
and takes several hostages. Liz from Hillman MI sent this picture - "Snorkeling in Canada" Ohhhh... it looks cold! lol!
I'm not updating the Snow Cam on Sundays. That's the day that Post Secret posts new Post Cards. So check out their site! It's great!
The Snow Gauge in the year's past at approx the same time Rafal sent some more good ones. If I had kids, this is what they'd be wearing. lmao
I am taking ATVer Spring reservations for the Chalets. You can email me anytime to check the availability for a Chalet. We do not have an official ATV Trail System in Wawa. There's no charge to ride here. We have days of riding out back of our place, but a GPS is a necessity. My brother, Hutch, has mapped out many of the logging roads out back and is happy to share it with our ATVers! Thanks Hutch! If you'd like an ATV guide for the Wawa area, Willy from The Bristol Motel knows the trails like the back of his hand, and will be happy to guide you. Price is approx $250 - $300 a day. Wow! My brother Rob sent some AWESOME Eagle photos!
Feb 28th - no change in snow.... it's not going anywhere for a while! Fantastic March Riding this year! Steve Miller, Columbus OH, sent a nice pic taken at Halfway Haven.
Feb 25th - Do you think it's time for us to sell the RMK?
Wayne sent me some good ones "Why Seniors Rock". Here's my fav....
Vince Harlan sent some nice pics! Jonathon, Harlan, Jim, Myles, Derrick, and Mark The guys had a blast: Day 1: Goulias River to Wawa, Day 2: Wawa to Missanabie for The Best Burger on the planet and back through Dube and than some playing around on the way back to Wawa (Wawa Trails were table-top), Day 3: Wawa to White River and back to Wawa for an awesome Superbowl Party and a pyramid of "Empties", Day 4: Wawa back to Goulias River (thanks to the Wawa groomer for helping out Searchmont). A HUGE thanks goes to Gord Jones Power Sports for helping out a fellow rider with a blown hyfax! Everyone made the trip a success! Gorgeous night for a Full Lunar Eclipse! Here's the moon rising over our mountain...
Pat Springate & his pals had a Great Time riding the Wawa trails over the weekend. Here's a cool pic of them taken on a hilltop in the Badlands. They said there were Awesome Drifts!

Feb 2nd - No change in snow, but here's a funny one that Marty sent.. HOW TO TICK PEOPLE OFF 1. Leave the copy
machine set to reduce 200%, extra dark, 17 inch paper, 99 copies.
Here's a cute one sent by Barb ~ (As answered by elementary school students) How Do You Decide Who To Marry? You got to find somebody
who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it
that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. No person really
decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it
all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with. What is the Right Age To Get Married? Twenty-three is the
best age because you know the person FOREVER by then. No age is good to
get married at. You got to be a fool to get married. How Can A Stranger Tell If Two People Are Married? You might have to
guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. What Do Your Think Your Mom and Dad Have In Common? Both don't want any
more kids. What Do Most People Do On A Date? Dates are for having
fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have
something to say if you listen long enough. On the first date,
they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested
enough to go for a second date. What Would You Do On A First Date That Was Turning Sour? I'd run home and
play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure
they wrote about me in all the dead columns. When Is It Okay To Kiss Someone? When they're rich. The law says you
have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that. The rule goes like
this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them & have kids
with them. It's the right thing to do. Is It Better To Be Single or Married? It's better for girls
to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. How Would The World Be Different If People Didn't Get Married? There sure would
be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there? How Would You Make a Marriage Work? Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck. - Ricky, age 10
Jan 26 - No change in snow here. But check out the gorgeous picture of the Moon that my Cousin Mike Gauthier captured! This is taken from his office building in Yellowknife - looking towards Slave Lake. Awesome!

It's not just all fun and games for us in the winter. We spend endless hours renovating and cleaning. Washing pillows takes 2 months! lol! I got bored of the same white walls and now we have colour in the rooms! 1/2 are done! Hey, Any Bear Hunters out there? I just finished updating Rick Dickson's Website. What an amazing Successful hunt they had in 2007! Wow!
Good one Rob! Wheeeeee

One

crooked his head sideways for a minute, scratched his
The Ontario Trail Conditions Forum is back up and running, and someone made a good point on it today, commenting that it's great to hear from the people that actually do the grooming of the Wawa and Dubreuilville trails. Ox also posts info from Halfway Haven too! Wawa Lake must be looking nice too, I'll go for a ride to town later.

- When did we bury the 3rd case in the past years? I'm glad you asked!
Took us all day, but with Gord's help, our Wawa Trail Map is ready for printing! Be sure to print it up before you come riding in Wawa! Many of the larger printed maps will be incorrect. A fact we face with Logging, Exploration and Land Use issues. New Additions.... Dicey Mountain Lookout, Location of the Goose, No Gas in Hawk Junction, Surluga Trail 4 was taken away from the Club again, Firesands Trail will be logged, so please use caution and give all Logging trucks and Loggers the right of way. Otherwise, they'll think that it's too risky to share the road with Snowmobilers and shut the trail down. Oh you just gotta LOVE George Carlin!! Here's his new rules, and everyone should abide by them New Rule: No more gift registries.
You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new
homes and graduations from rehab. Picking out the stuff you want and having
other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white people version
of looting. Dec 12 - The snow is settling (not melting) - the 2nd case is starting to show. But tons more snow in the forecast. Check out
our cute little Marten! Oh my! Snowmobilers beware - Hawk Junction lost it's only gas station. Burned to the ground. So sad December
