First however we had to go down to the shore where the Caplin were rolling in. These little fish wash up to lay the eggs and die. There were men on shore gathering them up for bait for fishing. They had a half dozen crate full.

Day 38 Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve
Today we drove to the southern tip of the Avalon peninsula to explore Mistaken Point Ecological Reserve. This is the site of the oldest fossils that have been found in the world. Similar fossils have been found other places but were not nearly the 576 million years old at these are. It was just named a UNESCO World Heritage Site last year. By the way we had to take our shoes off and wear these beautiful blue booties while walking on the Fossils.
