Day 4 — Newport, Washington via Winthrop Date: Friday 9/6/2024 Destination: Golden Spur Motor Inn, Newport, Washington Travel Time: 8h Miles: 308 Notes: Slept just ok, even with Advil PM. Pretty ride through North Cascades National Park and Colville National Forest. Didn’t do any backroads or hikes. Discovered (new to me) the town of Winthrop. Stopped for coffee at Sheri’s and resupplied on freeze-dried food at Cascades Outdoor Store. The town of Newport is almost nothing, but, inexplicably, there’s an amazing restaurant (Brownell’s Place). Had dinner and a few ciders. Met and chatted with the owner/chef (she’s great). Listened to some live music. Then back to the motel.
