Camping Canadian: Vessel of Interest

January 21, 2016

NEW BLOG - Vessel of Interest | наблюдаемое судно

I've spun out any non-Canadian non-Cold War related blog posts to a new blog called Vessel of Interest (наблюдаемое судно) in order to keep the focus of CampingCDN.blogspot.com with Canadian Cold War topics related to sites I might be able to go and visit, in Canada, or at least posts related to Canada's Cold War effort. Any old posts here that weren't fully Cold War related have been copied over there, but remain on this blog so the links aren't dead.

So, if you're interested in more than Canadian Cold War things, go check out http://VesselOfInterest.blogspot.com and subscribe!

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.
