You're probably talking to the wrong person. :-) I like hiking, camping, 
scuba diving, rock climbing, mountain biking, fishing, hunting and in all 
ways being subjected to the outdoors. Me personally you could stick in CFS 
End of the Earth, and I'd find a way to enjoy it. I never said that I 
disliked Gagetown, I just said that it can be a hellhole. I like hellholes.

You're quite right about Gagetown - it's not a bad place to be. Fredericton 
is not far away, and that's a nice little city. It's no major drive at all 
to get to Saint John or Moncton, little more to access Halifax or Quebec - 
after all, when I was in 1 Fd Regt RCA(M) we routinely drove up from 
Halifax - and back - to shoot at Gagetown on weekends.

A lot of posters make a big deal about how isolated a base or station is. 
Where they see a blasted waste, I see opportunity. I was being ironic about 
Cold Lake - me myself and I would be very happy with that location. I'll bet 
the fishing and hunting there is not that bad.
