I can’t tell if the 8mage got through.

oops...here’s the 8mage: tried to paste it into the message, but no luck.

If I were there, today, with a four-wheel drive vehicle these are the areas I’d want to investigate(decreasing in liklihood from south to north. (Old memories die hard!) I do appreciate the efforts all of you in trying to make sense of my obviously imperfect memories! Dave

This is a much larger complex of bogs than the ones Joe had Hugh and Me, or me alone working on when we weren’t working on others of Joes or that Joe was managing for other owners. This I do recall: the last stretch of sand track to the bog and river was westbound; morning sun to our backs...

Well, Boyd, although I claim no savvy about interpreting that sort of map, I have to admit I see nothing in the 1970 wetland map that might suggest even abandoned bogs and levees anywhere I might have imagined they could have been. I have no idea what that white rectangle with parallel dark...

Not the west side of the river...Joes bogs on the east #ide were nowhere near as extensive as those you wonder about. If you somehow find that Pomona fruit owned bogs on the west side then I am wrong as wrong can be...but it’s hard to believe. Here’s a closer view...

For some reason the addys don’t appear in my copies of the posts. How about this: The addy is https://online.boydmaps.com/#14/39.6239/-74.4971/pinesHD ?.? Please let me know if the map stuff came through and was intelligible. and that was on the East bank of th3 WADING river, not the Bass...

Cool! Ok, here y’go: https://online.boydsmaps.com/#14/39.6185/-74.3725/pinesHD Actually I can’t be sure how far nor5h along th3 river was the ex@ct site of Joes bogs...But 5hat’s the area.

Hi, Boyd, Yes! first map ...where the two highways meet just immediately before crossing the Bass river, a gravel road heads north; Joe’s bogs were left off that gravel on the east bank of the river. Not bad, for one summer 60 years ago, eh? Dave

Best of recollection, the bogs of Joe Palmer’s (Pomona Fruit) where we spent most time were along this east bank of the river. Where the other bogs he managed we’re, I couldn’t begin to guess, but one was somewhere up up near Double Trouble. This any help? Dave uh oh, the image didn’t load...

Beats me...I’ll give it a try. Gotta find a map including roads west and NW from Tuckerton toward the Bass and Wading Rivers.

I had two female copperheads, gravid at capture, give birth to three and five offspring, respectively. The baby copperheads ate ravenously and practically omnivorously...but just animal life...plump grubs, earthworms, red-backed salamanders, dusky salamanders, smallpickerel frogs, slugs, newborn...

Gabe, My sincere apologies for the long delay in response to your reques for info re: harp mak8ng. If still interested, here ‘tiz: John Kovac, harp making http://www.johnkovac.com/harpmaking.html Dave

With a bit of time for reflection...here’s a summary of the experiences of a summer bog laborer in the summer of ’60. I got room and board with the boss, Joe Palmer, proprietor of the “Pomona Fruit Co. Joe was the father of Hugh, a classmate and friend at Penn state. Summer duties were those...

Thanks, Manumuskin, for your sharp, discerning eye and for starting this thread. It has, with the patient input and explications by SpungMan devolved into a most informative experience...emphasizing the concept that “the past is prologue”! Dave

Well, even as a lifelong secular humanist, sometimes I have to resort to TTWGWI (that’s the way God wants it)...which means the actual, rational answer continues to escape our perception. I’m suspecting that the answer to exclusion of the pine barrens from the Copperhead’s favored range may...

Well, is 15 years too late to check back on a thread I started in 2005? Life and the vicissitudes of ageing do, indeed, disrail many a good intention, but this SD winter has, for some reason, engendered many recollections of my experiences in the pine barrens in my younger days and later...
