Oh, Baloney! You've soloed now, so jump back in that 150 and head west across the Rockys! They look grand from above. And, since it's summer, no need to check weather or file a flight plan- Just jump in and Go!
A couple years ago, I was stuck in the middle of Montana waiting to thunderstorms over the Rockys to clear. A National Guard helicopter flew in, low under the scud, and I started a friendly conversation with the uniformed Guardsmen. When I told them I was waiting to head back to the Seattle area, they encouraged be to go for it:
"It will give us something to do- To come find your wreckage".
Keep gas in the tanks, and keep out of the clouds, you won't become a statistic.
