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, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, so cachers should be aware of this when caching here. Between September and February hiking and geocaching is allowed on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. 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.

This is a small cache hidden on a branch on a trailside tree in the FWMA. Rocky and I found a good spot to hide it while hiking around the southern portions of Fingal Park today.
