Well we thought Mother Nature was going to give us a break this year on an early spring. I guess she really is full of surprises. We are experiencing a major snow storm here in Wawa. We are expected to get at least 5 - 10 cm of the white stuff. Highway 17 between Sault Ste. Marie and Wawa has been closed since lunch time due to poor visibility from white out conditions and three tractor trailers jackknifed on the highway. But do not fret good news is that it is all suppose to clear by morning and Spring is suppose to reappear. Most of the rivers and lakes up north near Pine Portage are almost opened with just a little ice on them. Wawa Lake is almost ice free with the remainder being more like 'Honeycomb ice' which with a little help from the wind will be gone in a couple of days. I will try and post some pictures for your viewing tomorrow. So keep in touch!!!There was no snow left on the Portage trail behind camp until Thursday's snow storm
Had to break a little ice coming in on Pine Portage Lake located at the back of the Lodge
In this photo below, two Otters had come up the hole in the ice on the Oba River near Pine Portage with a Perch, they got scared and left their catch on the ice, but I am sure they came back for it or the Ravens got it
The bay in front of Pine Portage is opened but there is still quite a bit of ice at 1st gap and on the main lake area

Another reminder for those of you that received your plastic Outdoors card in the mail, make sure you don't forget it or you will have to pay another $9.00. If you haven't received yours yet than let us know and we can provide you with a phone number to find out why. There might have been some information missing or something they couldn't read so it has not been processed yet.
