Between the mountain
ranges is a great place to do cross country flying. I found that if I were willing to detour a state or so off
course, I could almost always go around the weather and get to my destination.
The exception is,
naturally, when the bad weather is hanging right over your destination.
But it seems to me like
you Intermountain West people don’t have weather – you just have mid-day
thermals.

In the Midwest we can only "plan" in one direction. Coming back requires a new plan because things change so quickly. But we get lots of two hour windows for just banging around in the sky. I think a lot of pilots don't fly unless the wind is going to stay real low, even though the Coupes handle a cross wind better than anything else.

Not to mention vulnerable to the whims of VFR weather, together with
good judgement. Here on the right coast, 'VFR planning' is an oxymoron.
