THE INSTRUMENT RATED PILOT FILED AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN AND WEATHER BRIEFED FOR A ROUND TRIP FLIGHT FROM PROVO, UTAH, TO REXBURG, IDAHO, AND RETURN. UPON ARRIVAL AT REXBURG THE PILOT'S SON (WHO DISEMBARKED WITH A SECOND PASSENGER) REQUESTED THAT HIS FATHER REMAIN OVERNIGHT. THE PILOT RESPONDED THAT THE PLANE WOULD BE TOO HARD TO START AND THAT HE HAD A CLASS TO TEACH IN THE MORNING. AFTER A BRIEF STOPOVER, THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED REXBURG AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE PILOT ACTIVATED HIS IFR FLIGHT PLAN FOR THE RETURN LEG. A CESSNA 310 WAS ON AN IFR APPROACH INTO REXBURG DURING THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.
