Hmmm...the chart I'm looking at (NAS) has an MEA of 10K between LVS and
TAFOY and 10K between TAFOY and SAF Vortac.

I understand that one can go lower VFR, but where do the altitudes you
quote above come from?

I'm looking at L5/L6 IFR Low Enroute (ok, it's July 2003 but mountains
rarely move). The square with LVS has off-route obstruction clearance alt
as 15.3 and yes, you're right (my bad...I was reading the OROCA in
a generic mode as the MEA) the MEA is 10K. Oops is all I can say.

(*sigh*)

Sorry.
