Where else did you land? Fun thread.
Please share what surface you landed on. RV or not. On airport or off.
I am flying my RV9A for two years and she touched some interesting surfaces.
Good concrete.
Slushy ice.
Bad asphalt.
Turf/grass. What's the difference btw?
Gravel the prop danger 
You? |

Oh, I don't know. Looks like you could walk away!
Remember, a good landing is one you can walk away from.
A great landing is one where you can re-use the airplane.

It is a landing, Tony just forgot the adjective.

Rosamond Dry Lake, with an invitation from Edwards AFB -
I was one of the last to leave before the bad weather rolled in...
I won't count dry lakes in my sailplane...

I've landed on good concrete, of course, and good asphalt. I've also landed on crappy concrete - well, good but with big joints/tar strips that will about shake your teeth out (SCB), some fairly long grass/weeds (K01), and nice short turf (3M0). I've also landed on wet concrete in the rain.
Not so many exotic locations for me. I feel like a newbie. Oh, wait... I am. I haven't broken the 100 hour mark yet. That's my excuse!
