Simpler method: just go visit central and SE Oregon. * Maybe fly in to Bend. Nearby you can go up Pine Mountain to visit the observatory in the summer.

You can very easily see the milky way and SO many stars. * https://traveloregon.com/plan-your-trip/destinations/lakes-reservoirs/stargazing-at-oregons-first-dark-sky-park/ https://traveloregon.com/plan-your-trip/destinations/lakes-r... - dark sky park near Prineville. * Steens Mountain & Alvord Desert - https://traveloregon.com/things-to-do/destinations/parks-forests-wildlife-areas/a-trip-to-steens-oregons-secret-mountain https://traveloregon.com/things-to-do/destinations/parks-for...
