The route is off-airways, but you note that the VOR-A

you're
familiar with the area, and know that 4000 clears all terrain that
might
possibly be a factor along any route you might pick.

So, what would you do? Turn back to CMK and proceed from there? Keep
on
the 295 heading until you intercept the CMK 275 or the SAX 039,
whichever
comes first (assuming that heading even intercepts those at all).
Turn
direct SAX? Hit the reset button and start the scenario again?

Turn back to CMK and proceed from there, with an eye on the chart for
obstacle/terrain clearance. Staying on 295 doesn't really assure you of
anything even if you climb to 4,000 because you don't know when or what
the next vector would have been. You can assume that the clearance
after CMK works if you maintain charted IFR minimum altitudes.
