Your favorite altitude

More that once over the plains around Amarillo Texas I would fly cross
country at about 3 feet. I had to climb to go over the barbed wire
fences.
Perfectly legal as best I could tell. I could easily have landed if my
engine quit. It is REALLY flat up there.

Three feet would make me uncomfortable, but to each his own.

It also wouldn't be legal, since it violates 91.119(a), although in Texas
I
suppose there isn't anyone around to watch and enforce.

91.119(a) says: (a) Anywhere. An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails,
an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the
surface.

You didn't read my post. I clearly stated I could have safely landed if the
engine failed.

And if your engine quit before you could climb to avoid the barbed-wire fence?
