Doris, Back in the early '50's my cousins and I used to walk from the farm they lived on into Allamuchy. Everytime we walked down the road past these pine trees we would hear a rattling noise. We would go back and tell my aunt and uncle there must be a rattle snake down there under the pines. My uncle and some other men stopped down there and there was a snake, but it wasn't a rattler or poisonous. But it rattled its tail everytime we passed. Pat
