Winthrop, WA - The Old West

The town of Winthrop has kept the Old West motif in all of its buildings...even down to the squeaky-board sidewalks. Its really quaint. And the shops are nice, too. Gift shops, art galleries, glassblowing shop...
...microbrewery! Ha! I'm not sure how ethical it is to put a microbrewery in the old schoolhouse, but if Pepsi and Dominoes can advertise inside the schools, why not?!
The only item that is not within the theme is the Marshall's car - its a purple Trans Am with lights on the roof.
Another aspect of Winthrop that we really liked was our campground - Silverline Resort. Our site was on the lake and we we never had neighbors during our stay - one neighboring site was being re-seeded so it was closed temporarily and the other site was a tent site which wasn't filled during our stay. It was quiet, with birds chirping...and so dark at night the stars reflected off of the lake's surface
We needed this!
