This is the lovely drive down the mountain when I go into town. It's a really crooked road that was built in the late 1800s for mules pulling wagons, finally paved in the 1960s with only one curve removed. Still really narrow, with the right side rising sharply and the left side dropping even more sharply. They did add a guard rail a few years ago. Some of my local friends still won't drive this route (there's another, longer way up the mountain) but it's the road I learned to drive on (though a dirt road them) and I love it!!

Day 1 - Map
Scenic Guntersville is actually a penisula in the Tennessee River - surrounded on 3 sides by water. Now, I don't actually live IN Guntersville but that's my address. This is an incredibly scenic area with the lake and mountains and southern hospitality - what more could you ask.
If you're interested - here's more info on our town
Hopefully most of my future pictures will be ones I've taken :)
