DURING A WX BRIEFING AT 0545 PST, THE NON-INSTRUMENT RATED PLT WAS ADVISED THAT VFR FLT WAS NOT RECOMMENDED. HOWEVER, HE FILED A VFR FLT PLAN & PROCEEDED ON THE TRIP. WHEN HE FILED A FLT PLAN FROM KLAMMATH FALLS TO EUGENE, HE INDICATED THAT HE WOULD BE CRUISING AT 11,500 FT. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT CRASHED INTO WOODED TERRAIN AT AN ELEVATION OF ABOUT 5650 FT.
