Camping Canadian: Gore Airport

October 02, 2013

Gore Airport

Gore Airport, like Wiarton, was built in support of the Pinetree Line project by Transport Canada ~1953, at the request of DND. I'm looking for original buildings on or around the property, but so far have not been able to identify any.

What's all this about anyway?

My intent by making this blog is to provide information for others who are interested in visiting and exploring the sites of former Cold War military facilities in Canada, and their surroundings.

My personal goal is to visit (and camp when possible) at all of the locations where the Pinetree Line stations were across Canada, and along the way visit the microwave repeaters, troposcatter repeaters, airstrips, and other supporting facilities. As a lot of these places are far from civilization, and often on the top of local hills or mountains, I hope to see the relatively the same view the men and women of the USAF and RCAF saw in from the 1950s to the 1980s.
