Narrative:
While cruising at 10500' in the vicinity of the uca VOR, I started a left turn to proceed northwest when I noticed an mlt climbing toward me in my 8 O'clock position. Not knowing his intentions I elected to turn right, away from him. I estimated his altitude at 9500' and approximately 2 mi to my left rear. No evasive action was needed.
