This cache is the third in a series, this one to comemerate the hardy souls that flew to open up the Canadian Northern territories. The airport is one of the oldest operational airports in Canada (since 1926) and has a rich history in supporting aviation. It served as a seaplane and floatplane base, until the water level in the lake dropped to it's present level. The park at the cache site was dedicated to flyers, past and present. It is also a tribute to the volunteers that run the airport.It is a park beside some of the best Alberta wetlands scenery. The park has parking, a restroom facility and is a short distance from Highway 14. A good place to stop and take a break if you are travelling (especially if you are a geocacher).
The cache is a small container, with a log sheet and a pencil.
See a bit of our history and enjoy the cache.
