Abandoned RCAF Radar Base

We went on an off-roading adventure, and ended it at the Beaverbank Radar Base. It's a place that I've wanted to go for a while, and was very happy to finally get there! I didn't climb inside, though a few of the guys did. Tales say that the place is quite haunted.

Very cool.

When I was growing up, there was an abandoned Nike Hercules site nearby, part of the ring of missiles that defended NYC. We used to hang out there all the time. The metal doors over the launcher had been slabbed over, but the radar installations were still there, as was the site housing nearby on the appropriately named Nike Road.......

Neat site. Thanks for sharing. I had to google it for its background history.

Thats cool, when I was a kid I was fascinated by stuff like this. I dont know much about the NIKE sites, but there are some youtube vids of them. Neat stuff.
