Most people stop in Winthrop for a few hrs. There is (was?) a charger at a park. Also twisp has a NWPlug-in Hugh Amp charger

The one at Twispworks is reliable and free. There's a nice food truck usually parked there too. 48A charger wouldn't take you too long to get enough electrons to make it downhill to Entiat from there. Staying overnight at Twisp River Suites or Sun Mtn Lodge is nice too.
Nothing really new to report, besides one bank of cabinets? installed

The TwispWorks 80A charger is often taken so I wouldn't count on it. The one in Mazama (Mazama Country Inn) is less used, and the one at Pine Near Campground in Winthrop is usually available, although the parking spot might be taken. The one in Pateros is also usually available. Winthrop is working on adding two level 2 and two level 3 (CHAdeMO and CCS) chargers at their town park but nothing for sure yet.
Truly wish this was on the other side of the lake. Would have allowed for trips to grand coulee. Seems like a total waste for hwy2 traffic and N/S traffic probably doesn’t mind. Bummed!
No pics (I was in a hurry) but I drove by tonight and seemed like all the pedestals and cabinets are in place and a green transformer sitting on a flatbed. Will update in next couple days.
All the pedestals and transformer is in. Couple of the cabinets are still wrapped in plastic, not sure if that protection against elements or they’re not completely installed. Sorry for the crappy pics, it was cold outside 
Someone in the fb group posted this Friday morning:
"The Entiat Supercharger will be turned on later today. Dropped by and talked to the work crew about 15 minutes ago. They were pressure washing the site."
I'm skeptical because it sounds like he was talking to the contractor and maybe they were wrapping up their work, but we all know it can take days, weeks, or even months for the site to get tested and activated. I did follow up to ask if there was a Tesla employee on site, but did not receive a response. Anyways, it's worth checking out again if someone is in the area, but I'm not at all confident it will actually be active as the poster suggests.

Sounds like it was the work crew. I’ll be driving by tomorrow, will check it out.
Just drove by, no change. The cabinets are still wrapped and Tesla logo is dark.
Non-Tesla employees working on superchargers continue to be some of the least reliable informants I think showroom employees are the only ones with a worse track record!

I still think the back-in trailer design is stupid so I plugged into it as a form of protest!

Tesla HQ: "People must love the new back-in trailer stall design - it's the most-used stall at the site."
Thanks for coming up from Seattle and saving me the treacherous 20mi drive
