Tobermory GFA

The Tobermory Gap Filler Station was built around 1963 and from the satellite pictures still has both of the original buildings and fence. I am not sure who owns the land, or if the adjacent airport owns the land. I have not yet been there to take pictures of the site myself, and cannot find any recent pictures online.

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.
