Blueberry Picking in Wawa

 

Today my DH and I drove 2 and a half hours north to Wawa to pick blueberries.

If you've never made the trip north on the transcanada highway you have to put

this on your bucket list. I hope you don't mind if I share a few photos with you!

This was taken about one third of the way up Hwy. 17 at an overlook.

Wasn't the water today bluer than blue?

This was taken while driving back from Wawa heading home at Montreal River,

which you'll miss if you blink.  The only thing there is a resort.

This is Wawas town symbol. It is located at the visitors center. The town thinks it's

worn out and they need a new one. I saw a sign saying you can buy a feather for the

new goose for $50. Now that's one way to raise money for it!

This is Wawas rustic visitors centre.

These are a modern version of the totem poles. Notice the Gitchee Gumee on the bottom?

 This is Old Womans Bay coming south from Wawa. It has a beautiful sandy beach.

This was our view looking out from Katherines Cove where we had our picnic lunch.

There are many outcroppings like this all along the lake.

This ol' fellow seemed to think, for some reason, that he deserved some of our lunch!



Pines, birches, and jagged rocks line most of the highway.

It was a long day-eleven hours away from home. But well

worth it. The blueberries were small this year. The road into

the site was atrocious. But the drive- it was "priceless".

Tell me, to what lengths would you go to get berries?
