So we've all heard the rules for an off-airway clearance...on Friday I was given a clearance direct from GLD to SKIPI without radar coverage. I was told to report 105 miles east of FTG (for radio hand-off) and was asked my position when I happened to be about 12 miles from a VOR. From the radio chatter I was the only one in the area (the whole of eastern friggin Colorado) at low altitude on a clearance.
It all worked out fine but was sorta weird. In the past I've gone through the area at higher altitude just to get radar coverage. This time center didn't mention it and I didn't offer. I guess I'll just call it western-US rules and drive on...
