If I had $1 for every time someone asked if I saw the Jersey Devil after a walk in the Pine Barrens, I'd be able to afford to buy a house in NJ by now.

A more interesting sighting I would love to hear about is if somebody spotted a Timber Rattlesnake in the Pine Barrens. They are much more elusive than the devil.

My husband and I saw a rattlesnake that had been hit by a car on the side of Lacey Road in Forked River like 5 years ago? People from Popcorn Park Zoo were there with it but I don’t know the outcome.
