About Me

My photo
Dan Baughman
Red Lake and Nolalu, Ontario, Canada
My wife, Brenda, and I retired as owners of Bow Narrows Camp in 2017 but still live in Northwestern Ontario, at our home in Nolalu in the winter and soon at our cabin on Red Lake near the camp. I grew up at this remote fishing/hunting wilderness lodge which was first created in 1948. My mom and dad, Del and Don, bought the camp in 1961. My family then operated the camp until 2017.
