Narrative:
Filed dab direct 2945/08145 direct M79. Clearance received and read back: to M79 via crg 178 degree radial, royes, as filed.... I flew that clearance. After passing royes intersection, flying direct to 2945/08145, center advised my clearance was royes/crg as filed. I asked if I should proceed or turn back to crg. They said they would check. No direction was given and they said to continue (passing over R2903A) I believe that clearance should have been worded 'to M79 via radar vectors, royes, V267, craig, as filed, then I would have understood that 'craig' was a fix to be flown to, not a VOR that the '178 degree radial' originated from.

Title: PLT OF A LANCAIR, LNC4 FLEW THROUGH RESTR AIRSPACE DURING IFR FLT DUE TO MISUNDERSTANDING FLT PLAN CLRNC.
Narrative: FILED DAB DIRECT 2945/08145 DIRECT M79. CLRNC RECEIVED AND READ BACK: TO M79 VIA CRG 178 DEG RADIAL, ROYES, AS FILED.... I FLEW THAT CLRNC. AFTER PASSING ROYES INTXN, FLYING DIRECT TO 2945/08145, CTR ADVISED MY CLRNC WAS ROYES/CRG AS FILED. I ASKED IF I SHOULD PROCEED OR TURN BACK TO CRG. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHK. NO DIRECTION WAS GIVEN AND THEY SAID TO CONTINUE (PASSING OVER R2903A) I BELIEVE THAT CLRNC SHOULD HAVE BEEN WORDED 'TO M79 VIA RADAR VECTORS, ROYES, V267, CRAIG, AS FILED, THEN I WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT 'CRAIG' WAS A FIX TO BE FLOWN TO, NOT A VOR THAT THE '178 DEG RADIAL' ORIGINATED FROM.
