Day 46: Hiking Fogo

Sandy Cove, Boondock spot

So many trails, and so little time to explore all the beautiful hikes that await those that forage out to Fogo Island. We are only here for 4 days, so we need to pick the best of the hikes. We head to the town of Fogo for the Brimstone Head Trail, marked as one of the four corners of the world by the flat world society. Don't worry, we were careful not to fall of the edge of the earth. The. Brimstone trail is actually on an island that is off of Fogo Island, off of Newfoundland Island. So needless to say it is remote. We hike it, we like it, we got the pics, check that box, one corner of the world done. We also hike Fogo head trail, and I also do the Courting trail that leads to another studio building, the Bridge Studio part of the 4 or 5 art studio buildings. Amazingly, the sun came out mid day, and we soaked up some sun time until early evening when the fog rolled in at camp. We have happy hour on the beach, watch the fog roll in, then call it a night with left overs for dinner, and some binge watching on netflix, thanks to Starlink.
