Geocache Description:

Could be a drive up, but then you wouldn't be able to park anywhere. There is parking slightly NW of GZ, on Sammis Drive(the Old Highway)

The PoWs at Camp X in Angler (just outside Marathon, Ont.) spent three months planning their escape. Some worked on digging a 150-foot tunnel under the camp's exercise yard. Others transformed oilcloth, wax and flattened tin cans into escape supplies such as lanterns and a makeshift kayak...
Cache is a magnetic keyholder.
... It took a week for the escapees to be tracked down by federal, provincial and municipal law enforcement officers. Two were found in downtown Montreal, while one was discovered in a barbershop in Ottawa and two others made it as far as Medicine Hat, Alta.

Above taken from (visit link)

the Medicine Hat POW camp is mentioned at about 3:20-audio only.
