Camping Canadian: The Pinetree Line

January 12, 2014

The Pinetree Line

I'm trying to migrate all my data regarding the locations of Cold War sites, stored in KMLs, KMZs, and Google Maps to the new Google Map Engine Lite (so far I haven't gone "Pro"); I've also discovered I've got a lot of duplicated data, and poor revision control. Anyhow, here is my best guess at this moment as to what and where the Pinetree Line stations were that made up our Cold War air defence network.

A big thanks to radomes.org, lswilson.ca, and pinetreeline.org (defunct) for providing the information.

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.
