I live out West, where there are hundreds of miles of empty space in every
direction. When flight planning, I often say, "I can ditch in that dry
lake bed, or that field, or if I have to, on that road."


Why do you say that? Ditching requires water. You can ditch in a lake, but
not in a dry lake bed.
