During a heavy thunderstorm, a muskrat escaped the flood waters of Otter Point Creek and tried to escape to a safer wetland. Unfortunately Route 40 and a Jersey wall were blocking its safe passage. Thinking fast, we drove up along side it and blocked it from other vehicles by driving slowly and using our hazard lights. It eventually made it to a break in the Jersey wall and darted across the opposite lanes of traffic, barely avoiding a truck before it made it safely to another wetland. We were certainly glad we could ensure its survival down such a busy road.
