The mountain turbulence could have you asking yourself what in the heck you were doing there. I used to look for unfortunates who didn't return from flights into the mountains. That will keep your attention level up.

LOL, I shared some single engine time with a guy that was a United Senior Instructor.......he was always saying a prayer to 'The Cloud God'.......CAP in Colorado still has 150+ aircraft they have never located!!!! Even when hunting, I'm still on the lookout for aluminum slivers...... Mountain flying is totally different than the flat lands where I learned!
