Late afternoon July 4 at the bogs and sunrise this morning July 5 on South River.

North Branch Bogs and South River
- Thread starter Jon Holcombe
- Start date
Bob, I actually don't know where (and if) Mt. Misery is, but the North Branch Mount Misery Brook runs through it, and Mt. Misery Pasadena Rd runs below it (according to Google). I do not know the historical name of the bogs. EDIT: I see the Pinelands Center at Mt. Misery and the Mt. Misery Brook seems to start there.

Jon, I am impressed with your photography. Love when you capture shades and hues in the sky. It gives definition to the entire scene. 
I used to hang out on South River back when the ex's family used to camp in the campground next to it on route 50.They sat in the campground and I explored new woods.
I've driven over the Rt. 50 bridge at times, my entire life, admiring the river, but never thinking to explore beyond. And I always thought the Pine Barrens was Batsto and the occasional canoe trip. Better late than never.
It dawned on me that I actually lived in the barrens when i was about 16 and found a patch of Pitcher Plants on the west side of Union lake in a cedar bog along Mill Creek.
Thank you for the accurate information Teegate. Makes sense since the North Branch Mount Misery Brook feeds them. I will change the name of my file folder, but I do not see a way to change the name of the thread to "North Branch Bogs and South River".
I appreciate it Teegate. Your post spurred me to read up on Joseph J. White, and I may go to Whitesbog early tomorrow to look for a sunrise shot. One thing leads to another.
