Changes

This settlement is situated just at the junction of the national [[Ontario highways|Route 17]] and the provincial [[Ontario highways|Route 101]]. It goes towards [[Timmins]] and [[Abitibi]] ([[Quebec]]), just half way between [[Sault Ste. Marie]] and [[Thunder Bay]]. Basically it is a ''no man's land'' at great hundreds of km distance to any cities where many hitchhikers get stuck for days.

'''Wawa''' is generally considered by Canadian hitchers to be the absolute worst spot in [[Canada]] to wait for a ride. If hitching through northern Ontario, it might be a good idea to pass up a ride to Wawa for one going to [[Thunder Bay]] if heading west, or [[Sault Ste. Marie]] if heading east. Should you find yourself in Wawa anyway, you'll most likely get out faster by asking around for rides at the gas stations with parking lots big enough for tractor-trailers to park in. Not only will you avoid getting stuck in town for so long you move there, but your driver will certainly recognize your hitching wisdom for not standing around on the road and possibly spare you conversational gambit of "Wawa is the worst spot to hitch in Canada!" during your five hour drive together.
