The purpose of this 8-mile round-trip hike was to visit the abandoned buildings of the now defunct Lyndonville Air Force Station which sits atop East Mountain. This base was commissioned in 1952 by the US Air Force, and was up and running by 1955. This facility saw most of its use during the height of the Cold War era. It was abandoned in 1963.
