Geocache Description:


The Fingal Wildlife Management Area (FWMA) is the former site of the Number Four Bombing And Gunnery School, operated under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) from November 25, 1940, to February 17, 1945. The RCAF abandoned this site in June 1961, and sold it to the Province of Ontario in September 1965. It is comprised of 720 acres of land. I like to call it Fingal Park, which is easier that the FWMA label.

Permission to place these caches has been granted by both the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Elgin County Stewardship Council. Hunting is allowed within the confines of the FWMA when in season, so cachers should be aware of this when caching here. Also, all caches are placed reasonably close to trails within the FWMA so there is no need for traveling through agricultural crops or bushwhacking. Although several of these caches may appear to be roadside PnGs, all are within the confines of the FWMA and must be accessed from within the grounds.

Parking can be found at N42 41.351 W081 19.948. Trail maps and other information pamphlets can be obtained at N42 41.268 W081 19.861.

Knightwatchman has been instrumental in populating Fingal Park with dozens of caches over the years. Cargoman and I K K I have hidden a few as well. This cache is hidden as a tribute to Knightwatchman, and to thank him for his efforts. Now here's one for him to find too!
