The "Desert" a region of the Pine
Barrens where very little grows. It was created by the complete
removal and destruction of two large hills/low mountains to obtain
gravel for the roadbed of the Garden State Parkway. It is not a natural
landform.
The "Desert" name for this region was coined by Tom Brown Jr., and is
referred to in his books. |

 |
It's actually quite
beautiful.
|
|
| |
|
A wide plain of white gravel makes up the surface of
the "Desert".
|
|
| |
|
|
Of course, there are
numerous truck, ATV, ORV, dirt bike and dune buggy tracks.
The riders can't resist the wide open space. |
|
| |
 |
Pitch pines grow in the
more "sheltered" areas - that is, areas where the vehicles
don't run them over.
