My first two fog stories where in the Eastern Pennsylvanian hills, similar to Tennessee. Your last post to your blog was so heartwarming.<br /><br />Gypsy, I'll bet that peninsula in Ireland was really foggy. Glad you didn't meet anyone. I guess you and me are the only crazy ones out there in the fog :-0Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-4866355072958645482011-01-18T13:05:13.143-06:002011-01-18T13:05:13.143-06:00I have driven through thick fog near Hazelton, PA ...I have driven through thick fog near Hazelton, PA several times, as well as the tule fog that plagues the Central Valley of California this time of year. The worst I have ever driven is was in Ireland. I lived at the end of a peninsula and was surrounded by the sea, and shouldn't have even been out at night on such a foggy evening, that got worse as it got later. Fortunately I didn't meet anyone else on the twisty roads.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-42650167843741904852011-01-18T12:52:18.845-06:002011-01-18T12:52:18.845-06:00I ran into thick fog years ago driving home late o...I ran into thick fog years ago driving home late one night in tennessee, I didnt get lost, but thought I was going to. And I had also traveled this road many times, I was by myself and it was scary.

Also was fishing in the bay and got drenched by a water spout.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-88024194305493561792011-01-18T10:01:35.796-06:002011-01-18T10:01:35.796-06:00Like you I have experienced the dense heavy fog ne...Like you I have experienced the dense heavy fog near the oceans. The earliest I can remember had to be about 1965 or thereabouts, headed into Houston on ole Hi way 59. It got so thick that I had the drivers door cracked open to see the yellow strips and my buddy was watching for the white line on the other side. ran a couple of stop lights that we didn't see till it was too late. <br /><br />Out in Galveston Bay early one Sunday catching fish like crazy when the fog rolled in on us. like you could barely see the front of the boat from the back. Fired up the motor and eased East till I could hear the big ships in the ship channel, then turned due north and eased a long till I "thought" the entrance to Clear Lake and home should be to my left. turned 90 dgs and kept at an idle till I could hear car traffic on the highway then just slowly idled along till we heard the horn on the draw bridge and turned toward that. The pilings and the lights on the bride were a welcome site for sure. Made it back into my home port. Scary,, <br />We experienced a lot of weird weather along and just offshore the Texas coast those years, including outrunning and dodging tornadoes/water spouts.Ben in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068952818736489066noreply@blogger.com
