If there's no airport for 80 miles and everything is 200-1/2, to me that means I didn't do my preflight prep good enough and I shouldn't even be there. Sometimes you just have to tell ATC what routing you can/will take v. asking.

WOW!! You must be one of the guys that flies over the lake at 10K or goes around it...but for what reason?? How do you do this job with those kind of fears? Being beyond power off gliding distance in SE airplanes is the last thing going through my head while I'm flying, too many other important things...and I fly the caravan every single night over the mountains. Gotta watch out for the crazy mountain people!!
Which by the way how do you like the caravan? besides it having an uncomfortable seat...
