For frozen custard fans willing to drive for hours, there is a
great place in Harper's Ferry called 'The Coffee Mill.'  It is
in the restored part of town, near the bottom of the main
street.  Harper's Ferry tends to get quite crowded during the
weekend, but weekdays its not too busy.  It's a fun trip--the
antique shops are worth looking into; the restored town is true
U.S. history; scenery is fantastic (Hilltop house hotel on the
bluff overlooking the town has a great view); and for those
interested in water sports... a inner-tube trip down the Potomac
is a blast (good for kids, too, but be prepared with t-shirts
because the inner tubes irritate the skin, and some kind of
sandal that straps on to protect against sharp rocks below the
surface).  There are a couple outfitters which will arrange
transport from drop-off to pick-up--about a three hour float.

Seriously, the custard is great.  Having read all the comments
on frozen custard, when I saw this place I had to try it.  It's
the real thing, alright.

caio,
       g.
