Navigation strategy on a short flight

I would've climbed a bit higher, for safety, in that terrain.
I considered that, but it was a daylight flight and the C152 is rather anemic,
and a review of the maximum elevation figures in the quadrants I planned to
cross revealed nothing higher than 2900. I think I might have filed for 5500
and then changed my mind once in the air.
You can exclude pilotage, but it doesn't sound like you created a
navigation log before your flight.
No, I did not. I had forgotten that navigation log is a widespread aviation
misnomer for a navigation plan. I didn't have a written plan, nor did I log my
progress. In general I eschew anything that might require writing, because
there is no space on the table for writing things by hand, and because the
room is generally dark except for the monitor, making writing difficult.
Sure sounds like a realistic "simulation" to me...
