I was on a VFR flight plan with flight following. Atlanta Center kept me wayyyy up high until we were past the mountains How did they do that? Common sense mostly. I had mentioned starting down sooner and they *suggested* that I stay up there until farther south of the mountains. It was pitch black below. I took their advice. They kept me up there by kinda, sorta, indicating, it might be safer until well clear of the mountains where I could remain in contact closer to the airport.
