Do you ever walk into a shop and think, hmmm, maybe I *should* start long distance backpacking…read moreagain! Well, that's the feeling I got when I visited Winthrop Mountain Sports during the recent Winthrop Quilt Roundup. I had never visited before, but it was a stop on the event passport so I popped in. Wow, what a GREAT place! First of all, they have way more than backpacking equipment. From stylish outdoorsy clothes to all sorts of hats, gloves, shoes, water bottles, and other must-have PNW-esque accessories, I could easily have outfitted myself for everything from a day hike up the Methow to an expedition down the PCT. They are also dog-friendly, allowing my friend's dog to wander the store with us (and even sneaking him a treat from behind the counter). Even if you're not outdoorsy, there's something you need in this shop. I ended up buying some road trip snacks for the journey home.

RIGHT ON! I walked in and rented classic cross country skis. I was given the choice of those with…read morescales and high performance. I chose high performance and they were brand new. It was the best rental gear I have ever rented. Service was quick, pricing was good and I was out the door in about 10 minutes. I will for sure be back for more and likely purchase my set up there next year. Oh, and I was able to buy my trail pass during that quick amount of time too. Win win.

The items are practically new and much better quality than other locations They know how to work with kids and they are very knowledgeable. You can tell the owners take good care of their equipments. Great selection winter items and shoes. We bought 2 set of brand new Rossignol cross country skis sets and boots from this store after trying out the brand new skis via rental service over a weekend. We've been very happy with our sets. The price is fair and you are supporting a LOCAL business! We've yet to meet an owner of an outdoor sport store so nice and kind.

Just a quick disclaimer--I used to work there. I no longer do, but that hasn't dampened my…read moreadmiration for Gross Drug at all. On the contrary--I feel stores like this represent the best of the old America I grew up in. Bridgeport is in the middle of nowhere, and Gross Drug is the last old business in a town whose demographic has changed dramatically in the last forty years. During all that time Dale and Sheryl Gross have maintained an old fashioned feel to their full-service pharmacy and drug store. You can find obscure products from your childhood and the latest cancer medications. There's an excellent magazine section (the nearest one that's better is fifty miles away). Gifts, children's toys, cards and beauty products, stationery and office supplies, even a few vet supplies. Everybody there is friendly, cheerful, and will literally move the world to get you what you need--just ask. The old Five-And-Dime--my home town of Menlo Park, California had one. It's now replaced by a snarky boutique in a high street utterly unrecognisable from the gentle backwater it once was. So dreadfully sad. But Gross Drug in Bridgeport, Washington is INSTANTLY recognisable from the days when America was intimate and friendly. Long may it live!
