One of the conditions that hunters must face this time of year is the fog. Sometimes it lingers seemingly all day making it difficult to see, especially when hunting with firearms. And then there's the drive to the hunt. Just seeing each turn can sometimes be almost impossible without some type of marker. This is the case at one of my hunting locations. Over the years I have marked a particular turn by a light. While driving down the road this light creates an illusion that it is in the middle of the road. If there's no fog, I can see it for at least a mile away. I simply drive to it and then make the turn. It makes everything easy. When there's a thick fog, this makes it more difficult because now I have to be close to it before I see it. And I have passed it up a few times. The key is slowing down, locating the light, and heading in the right direction.
