Jersey Pine Barrens - The Wharton Tract
It doesn't look it, but this hill is about 20 feet high. 20 feet isn't much I know but it's classified as a hill in South Jersey, where the highest elevation is about 220 Ft ASL. This is one of the wider roads. I picked up quite a few "battle scars" on this trip. When the topo map says "Jeep Trail"...you'd better believe it! The Hummer barely fits on most of these trails. After I got up this hill and proceeded on the trail got much narrower. I was stopping to cut low limbs that were too large to push through without doing damage to the beast. Much of the area I traversed had been burnt out by a fire recently. I still had that smokey smell. There were many fallen trees across the road.
The skeletal remains of a Dodge Omni. You can see that there are some mucky areas here. The water where the Omni sits is about 24" deep, and it has been very dry this year(1999). This vehicle is usually almost completely under water a local told me.
Apparently some people can't read and don't believe in treading lightly.
A normally locked gate on the southern boundary of the Warren Range, a Naval bombing range, which has been crashed through (see photo below also). There are plenty of places to explore in the Pines without trespassing, especially onto a bombing range ! ! ! ! 
I had traveled about 2 miles on this road and had to turn back when I got to this gate. I backtracked south the 2 miles and went west another 10 miles before I got out of the woods and onto hard pavement. The boundary for the bombing range didn't show on my map or I would have known before hand not to go up this road.

Garmin GPS-III screen shots
The green horizontal track line from the waypoint labeled 679A east towards Mystic Islands is the route I took through the forest. Just above the pointer is the ~ 2 miles I traveled North until I dead-ended at the Warren Range.
Here the GPS is zoomed out a bit to give you an idea of where in NJ this area is.
