What do you mean, we? <:-))

I make as many as a dozen or more single engine crossings of Lake Michigan
almost every year.

Depends on where you live.
Around here, there are lots of fields, interspersed with lots of buildings
and trees.
We are close to the dividing line...North of here its mostly trees, lakes
and small hills.

So a night landing around here would give you a good chance of hitting
something hard...Whether its all that big or not...North of here you
chances get better..at hitting something that is.
