2004 ~August 24-27, Trip to Guntersville and Grant, Alabama

My granddaughter and I traveled with Hubby to Guntersville, Alabama
Hubby worked at the TVA Guntersville Dam from Wednesday, August 24, to Friday, August 27.

The hotel is on one of the largest fabricated lakes with over 949 miles of shoreline. 
It has an outside pool, playgrounds, a restaurant, and a lounge with a deck. 
It has boat launches, charging stations, a pier, and a boardwalk. 


Day 2: Thursday, August 26, 2004
My granddaughter and I traveled to Cathedral Caverns, Grant, Alabama
Cathedral Caverns is the world's greatest cavern, with frozen waterfalls and the golden gate to the stalagmite forest
It is one of the seven most significant cavern discoveries in the world. 
Located just off US 72, US 431, and Hwy 79.


We took Highway 431 from Guntersville to Grant, Alabama.
Cathedral Caverns State Park

Day 3: Friday, August 27, 2004
One night, we ate at Outlaw Steakhouse, 4641 Wyeth Dr., Guntersville, AL 35976. 256-582-4653. 
Each of us ordered a steak, baked potato, salad, and iced tea. 
Outlaw Steak House has a rustic, clean, neat setting inside and out, with an old-west look.  
The service and food were wonderful.

We shopped at Walmart and rode all around Lake Guntersville


Lake Guntersville is in the Tennessee Valley, overlooking the majestic 69,000-acre Guntersville Reservoir. This park ranges over 6,000 acres of natural woodlands. 

My granddaughter and I enjoyed walking along the boardwalk and swimming in the hotel pool where we were staying.
We enjoyed several meals at Sunset Bar and Grille, located inside the hotel.

At the restaurant, we were served fresh, tasty seafood, prepared perfectly with friendly service.


Hubby did not take the full-time job offered by TVA, and I was glad about it.


Guntersville would be fun if you enjoy the water, and Hubby isn't as crazy about it as I am. 
 Guntersville is all about the water.
