HIGH DESERT OUTPOST
Built for Those That Still Look up
The High Desert Outpost is a project in motion — an idea becoming reality in the Oregon desert. It exists to protect and share a rare treasure: an untouched view of the night sky in one of the darkest places in the United States — a verified Bortle 1 dark sky.From this remote corner of Oregon, the future station will record weather patterns and celestial events, preserving both the science and the wonder of the night desert. It’s a quiet vision with a lasting purpose — to leave a light that points upward, not outward.

About
The High Desert Outpost started as a simple idea — a small, solar-powered observation station in the Oregon desert, built to share what few ever get to see: an untouched night sky.The project will record weather, sunrises, sunsets, and the endless sweep of the stars from one of the darkest sky zones in the country. It will run quietly, powered by the sun and the wind, streaming real images of the high desert to anyone who wants to look up and remember how beautiful this world still is.The High Desert Outpost is a project by Solo Jim Outdoors, an off-grid YouTube channel devoted to simple living and exploration
