🗣️ 📜🌞 Woohoo!
Early Registration is OPEN for the 2025 OREGON STAR PARTY!!!!
I’m super excited to get to share this event with you all once again. This year seems to have even more in store for us!

A week full of wonder and awe as we raise our gaze to the cosmic sea our little blue bubble floats within. The searing beauty of the high desert in Oregon’s Ochoco National Forest will set the stage for this adventure through Space Time! This inspiring Blue Mountains bluff sits around 5000ft elevation, and so provides a unique climate where days tend to be dry and filled with dust devils, while nights can lean towards somewhat chilly and at times drafty!

1: To attend this event you (all attendees) must register first!🧾
2: Go over the “About” tab a read the ‘First Timers’, ‘OSP Rules’, ‘Ochoco National Forest’ and ‘Directions’ pages to become familiar with what will be expected of you at this event.
3: Leave me message in Event Chat to let me know you’ve registered so I can move you to the ‘Going’ list!
4: Prepare! - Make a checklist of items you’ll require and want to bring with you.

💪🏽 This is a beginner friendly event, since no one will be required to attend hike(s) and so can stay at camp the entire duration if they so choose. Hikes may vary in difficulty.


**Carpooling/Driving** 🚙🚗🛻
We will be setting up a carpooling convoy at 9000 SE Sunnyside Rd (in front of Starbucks), since this is out of town event. Please arrive early enough so we can leave by 08:15am sharp. If you are running late you may have to drive on your own. If that is the case please make sure you familiarize yourself plenty which the location ahead of time and download offline maps.

**Parking/Fees**🅿️
There are no fees associated with these locations once you register. For safety, sanity and convenience we will try to stay togetherer as a convoy en route and in situ.
