I've read this entire thread and while everyone else is too PC to say
it, I will:

You are a *****ing* fool. As big a fool as the OP. Flying single-engine
in the mountains at night is like playing Russian roulette with 4 of six
loaded.


Wow! That's not what I was thinking at all.
I don't think I'll be flying at night over the Sierra(s) anytime soon, but
I'm not making any personal assumptions about anyone in this newsgroup who
does.

On another note, I mentioned that I fly over the Sierra(s) frequently in my
single.
I still think that if the engine died, I would too, even in CAVU VFR. There
is just nowhere to land.
I don't perceive myself as one of those people of whom you speak.

(waiting for assinine comment that I *am* one of those people)

Say what you will.
This is an acceptable risk for me.
