The skies there are brilliant! But that also means it is one of the most remote areas of the US. There is very little but high desert and ramshackle cattle ranches in all directions. There is a reason that they named this county “Malheur” (it’s the French word for ‘misfortune’). I drive through a part of this area every couple of months and it’s agonizing, but on the rare occasion that I’m solo and driving it at night I always make time to stop, turn the lights off, and look up.
