Rantem, Trinity Bay--A forgotten place..

The 1945 census showed 12 people...man, women and children living in Rantem, Upper Trinity South District.  Apparently the last families moved out in 1954.  Today it is a place of summer homes.  Hubby and I and the two dogs hiked to Rantem and found a beautiful long cove tucked between high hills and away from the world...we had Kayaked to Rantem before but so enjoyed the walk today with signs of spring everywhere.
