TRAFFIC ALERT! TRAFFIC ALERT!

I'm not trying to excuse CJ's lack of attention to details and the fact
that his course change required a corresponding change of altitude. He blew
it. The incident took all the fun out of the flight and after doing a 180
course reversal, CJ took the airplane back to IYK and parked it for two
weeks.

As I am not familiar with the area, what was the ground elevation at that
point? Was "CJ" above 3,000 feet above the ground or below it? As you
know, odd/even cruise altitudes are required above 3,000 feet AGL.

Also, there are many other, more common and legitimate opportunities to
bump into aircraft. One or both could be climbing up to a cruise altitude,
descending to an airport or an interim altitude, or any permutation
thereof.
