Dunn Wyeth Cafe
The cafe, as far as I can tell at this point, was west of the Gorton Creek Bridge, on the south side of the highway. For a long time I thought it was where OPRD has a sort of parking area at the east end of Wyeth, but those foundations apparently belonged to a rock shop. Most likely, it is where the current HCRH State Trail Trailhead is.

"Another frequent stop along the old highway was the Wyeth Dunn Café where Joe Bill would stop to buy a big jar of beef jerky. They also stopped at other roadside cafés."
