Bill's Place

  If you are riding the C&O Towpath (or hiking or whatever), an absolute MUST STOP and have a beer and/or food at Bill's place (currently run by son Jack).  This is just the sort of funky, friendly, awesome place one would expect to find in an out-of-the-way but along-the-towpath place.  We stopped for a beer on our way from the trail to our lodging.  Later, being the only restaurant in town, we decided to walk on down and eat there.  The menu is basic and on a white board - TOTALLY reasonable prices.  The décor is fabulous - dollar bills plastered to the ceiling from hundreds of visitors over the years, a small "convenience store" in one corner, a big bar, a million interesting mementos on the walls, good conversation,.  I have to say that my chili was just fine and my chicken sandwich one of the best I had on the trail.  My friend ordered the fish sandwich (enough fish on that sandwich for TWO sandwiches).  Nothing was greasy...just-right crispy!  Add a couple of beers to that and dang - dinner for two for $20 is a real deal.  Best Restaurant in town!

  I rented a canoe from Bill place over the summer for an epic camping trip. The canoes are the same aluminum ones I used when I was in the scouts in the 70's and a bit pricey too.
  Time to upgrade Bill..
  But the service was good and the canoe help up fine.
  Takes some warming up the help when you first arrive, but then its all good.
  
  One thumb up for Bill.
