After Brimstone we headed off to the town of Tilting to do some sight seeing before meeting Vanessa for lunch. While driving through Tilting we came across an old Irish cemetery (the path to which ran between two houses in a residential area). This cemetery was active from the early 1700's until the mid 1800's. While checking out the cemetary we noticed goats grazing in an adjacent field. You couldn't help but think you might be in Ireland.
After meeting Vanessa for lunch we headed back to Tilting for our afternoon hike on Turpin's Trail. The trail starts off at beach level and winds its way up a ridge towards a bay. At the top of the ridge there's what's left of an old US Radar station from the cold war era. This was another picturesque hike. At the end of the hike we headed back to town where Vanessa had parked her car and said our goodbyes. Although Atty and I were heading back to Twillingate, Vanessa was staying the night. We made it back to the ferry terminal in time to be told our ferry would be delayed due to the heavy traffic enroute to the Brimstone Head Music Festival. In fact the delay would stretch on to be 2 hours! The bright side of this was that we had a sunset voyage back to Twillingate.
