Close, Bumper, but actually, if conditions permit, it's best to land at an airport. With cold beer available.

I landed on a dry lake once, I had not thought about the depth perception issue before hand. I had to just let the glider find the ground. Was lucky enough to talk a passing airplane down to pick me up and fly me back to the airport so I could get my car and some helpers. They buzzed me and I contacted them on 122.8. While I was gone a passing trucker (the road was two miles from the dry lake had called in an airplane crash. When I came to get my glider near dark the cops and ambulance where there. This was the only time other than a check ride where I have been asked for my pilot's license.
