Default Non existent VOR

I'm not criticizing, but am just curious: Why did you plan your flight
route such that it depended on the VOR even when it was NOTAM'd to be OTS?


Because I knew I could safely navigate without the VOR. I was carrying a
handheld GPS, I planned to be in contact with ATC, the weather was severe clear,
the terrain was flat. I could easily have navigated visually or by dead
reckoning if necessary.
