Gadgetman Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Thanks for sharing. Only a 7.5 hr drive for me and only doing a QC sled permit next year, so I will add it to my destination list.  Mont Apica was an old Early Warning radar base, back in the day. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Canadian Forces Station Mont Apica (CFS Mont Apica) was a radar station of the Pinetree Line, located in Mont-Apica, Quebec, Canada, during the Cold War. The station opened as RCAF Station Mont Apica in 1952 and had a staff of some 500 persons at its peak. 2452 AC&W squadron, a reserve unit from Quebec City, trained at Mont Apica until the squadron was disbanded in 1960. Political and technological changes made the station redundant and it closed in 1990.[1] No. 12 Radar Squadron, Mont Apica's lodger unit, was transferred to CFB Bagotville. There was also a weather radar used by the military and later by the Meteorological Service of Canada. After the station's closure, it was transferred to the Lac Castor site of the Canadian weather radar network.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreyboater Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Look like a nice trip, specially for this year with lack of snow. We are going to Mont Valin on March 9th for 5 days hopefully calling for 25cm of snow. Could you tell where is a ice cave located, like to make stop there. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
