Here in the Midwest where terrain is 500 to 1000 feet, I generally fly
at 3500 or 4500 feet depending on direction of travel. I will go down
to 1500 or up to 9500 if it brings a significant increase in ground
speed. I may also change altitude even if it means sacrificing some
groundspeed if it gets too bumpy at the altitude I'm flying. I tend to
fly a little higher at night.

From what I've read, it should be possible to fly from one corner of Iowa
to
the other without ever changing altitude by more than 1000 feet. I'm not
sure
whether that's a good or bad thing. I suppose it's very safe, but
perhaps not
very interesting scenery-wise.


A bit like the interior of your head.



Simular, but I think it is safe to assume his head has a lot more
uncontrolled airspace.
