My filed route didn't include GEE, but I'd filed "Direct BUF v84 YXU ...",

Seems like a reasonable plan. Going direct BUF would be more in tune

If I'm at GEE, "direct BUF" and "follow the airway between them" is the
same thing.

kind of strange to be out of contact with radar, radio and the
horizon all at once.

Why? Radar and radio contact with ATC are just conveniences. Neither
is necessary to fly the airplane.

Hey, I said it was strange (as in "unfamiliar"), not stressful or scary.
