Lots of people think of New Jersey as nothing but refineries, but the Pine Barrens are a huge wilderness area (I always loved that episode of The Sopranos in which Chris and Paulie get lost in there...) Anyway, I don't think it's too far-getchged that cougers could have taken up habitat in the Pine Barrens....?
whoops: far-fetched.
The terrain in the Pine Barrens isn't 'cougar-country'... big cats need rocks... high rocks.
Hey, whatever happened to those Russians anyway? They had terrible interior decorating.
" I don't think it's too far-getchged that cougers could have taken up habitat in the Pine Barrens....?"
Nah, the Jersey Devil would have eaten them all.
Growing up in PA, I thought NJ was just one long shore line. We just thought of the beaches here. I had no idea, until I moved here to south Jersey, that there was so much wilderness. A lot of farms, too. The longest-running rodeo is in NJ. But now the shopping malls are building up more and more and beginning to take up a lot more space...
Didn't see the episode, but that's funny because, the rumor is, the Pine Barrens (a.k.a. Pinelands) is where a lot of missing mobsters end up. ;-)
Pine Barrens: Home of Kalliwicks and Mosquitos. Made the mistake of visiting Batso village after a period of heavy rain and must of lost a pint of blood to those pests.
