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.

We stayed at Holiday-Inn Guntersville 2140 Gunter Ave Guntersville, al 35976 256-582-2220. 
The hotel is on one of the largest fabricated lakes with over 949 miles of shoreline. 
It has an outside pool, playgrounds, restaurant, and a lounge with a deck. 
It has boat launches, charging stations, a pier, and 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 is the golden gate to the stalagmite forest. 
It is the seven greatest cavern discoveries in the world. 
Located just off US 72 US 431 and Hwy 79.


We took highway 431 from Guntersville to Grant Al.
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 ice tea. 
Outlaw Steak House has a rustic, clean, neat setting inside and out; it has the 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 the swimming pool at the hotel 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 services.


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


Guntersville would be fun if you enjoyed the water and hubby is not crazy about the water like me, 
 Guntersville is all about the water.
