Traveling south today eventually brought us to the town and historic site of Port aux Choix, a prominent headland on the west coast of NewFoundlands Northern Peninsula. At this site Archeologists have found evidence of human habitation dating back 4400 years and almost continuous habitation since that time by no less than 5 different groups. The original peoples were a maritime culture (meaning they lived on fish and other sea food), these were replaced as the climate grew colder by two different groups of paleo-Eskimo peoples that lived on sea mammals. These in turn were replaced, as the climate warmed, by more modern Indian peoples. The 5th group was obviously European.

We stopped for the night at Shallow Bay, a nice national Park campground. It is an interesting comment on modern life and expectations that this campground has wifi (though it does not work). I have always thought of National Park campgrounds as more basic, real back to nature, so for example this one does not have water, electricity, or sewer connection at the camp sites.
