*** MANITOUWADGE ***

Manitouwadge is John's home town Located in Northern Ontario near the top of Lake Superior, manitouwadge is a small mining/forestry/retirement community of a few thousand people

Founded in the 1950's Manitouwadge is a native word meaning "Cave of the Great Spirit" This picture was taken from Enns's, which is a large hill overlooking the town It is so named because many years ago a guy named Enns had his house up on this hill

Manitouwadge is adjacent to Manitouwadge lake seen here and in the first picture above. Enns's is the large hill in this picture, just to the right. You can just make out a thin vertical tower at the top of the hill. Just below this tower and to the left of it is a small clearing, this is where the house stood and from where these pictures were taken
