Ok Jas, I'm officially removing the fishing hex that seems to have been sent your way........ (no I didn't send it to you) You are now forever free to go CATCH some fishes......... Love ya......mom ;D

Well fellas........at least you were out there trying...... Once Jackson gets here......westpalmdude's fishing time may be cut way down.....better go while you can...... ;D.....

Hey J, glad you took a little you time. You need to remember.......no pic........no PROOF! ps.......somebody in Kentucky loves you

You are very welcome.....it was fun. The fall colors were awesome, the winding roads thru the mountain, the sunshine......Wish someone would have been around to ask questions but at least we did get to do some snooping..... just made ourselves at home and took our own private tour......... I think it will be a great time!.......

We got to make the trip Guntersville. It was beautiful. We spent around 4 hrs snooping around. : Let me see what all I can tell you....if I forget something just let me know what you want to know. Alcohol is available both in restaurants, package and convience stores. Dont know if alcohol is sold at the lodge...... but there is a convience store right at the entrance to the park. The renovations seem to be moving along. Just so happened we didnt read the yellow "NO TRESPASSING" tape we had to go around to get the pics The Lodge door was open, so according to souhern hospitality, that meant........come on in....first thing we saw was a huge rock fireplace.....lets just say, it is lookin great.....there is a back deck overlooking the lake......talk about a view......sittin on the top of Sand Mountain, lookin over the rocks and trees with the lake on below. You can see the boat ramp from here. but it is a ways off. Lodge rooms were also open......just like they were expecting us :-? Also found a cabin open....Someone must have forgotten we were coming........the chalets we couldn't get in... but we could see in......at least enough to know they were nice....fireplace and all. The chalets were mostly on the side of the mountain....with lake view. The chalets were about a mile from the Lodge. Most of the cabins had close lake frontage.....Nice but not quite as nice as the chalets (personal preference)..bank was all rip rap......might want to be careful with beachin a boat here.....The cabins are about 3-4 miles by road......now if you are a crow and can fly................. Boat ramp could launch 3 at a time......had approx 125 parking places for trucks/trailers plus there is an overflow lot. Ramp looked to be in excellent condition with two walkways. There is also a picnic area close. The campgrounds was awesome with more than 350 full sites plus there are primitive sites too...it has a store, playground, and private fishing area. Sites looked to be level. There is also a large swimming area. There are boat slips but I'm not sure if they are just for the campground or not. The lake itself, well, it's a lake........it's gotta be good! Took lots of pics......I'm addin the photobucket link....check em out........there are 3 pages of pics...be sure and look at all on them.... http://s234.photobucket.com/albums/ee70/fishinmom_2007/

Ok guys, I'll see what we can do....we got in late this afternoon....Talk about beautiful....mountains, the lake.......haven't seen the state park yet. I do know it's not a dry county, other than that, I can say, the night view is absolutely breathtaking. I can see Lake G from our motel room. Will see what we can find out in the morning. We won't have a lot of time before we have to head back home but I can say already.....I'm definately coming back for a longer visit!

Hey guys, We'll be in Guntersville this evening and in the morning......if there is anything specific you want to know.....just let me know. I'll take pics and have them up by Monday. Just post here and I'll check back ......

Subject: UK Rocks! Four football fans go rock climbing one afternoon. A Kentucky fan, the Louisville fan, a Tennessee fan, and a Georgia fan. They had been arguing all the way up the mountain about who among them was the most die hard fan. Upon reaching the top of the mountain, the Tennessee fan proclaimed to the other three "This is for the Volunteers!" and promptly threw himself off the mountain as a form of sacrifice, screaming "Rocky top" as he fell to his death. Not to be outdone by the Tennessee fan, the Georgia fan jumped up and shouted "This is for the DAWGS" and threw himself off the mountain barking Woof..woof, woof, woof! As he crashed on the rocks below. Refusing to be out done by the Tennessee and Georgia fans, the Kentucky fan rose to his feet and yelled at the top of his lungs "This is for THE KENTUCKY WILDCATS !" and without hesitation, pushed the Louisville fan off the mountain shouting---Fly Cardinal Fly! GO BIG BLUE!!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
