We try to camp a few days each month, with a 7-10 day trip in the Spring and a longer trip in the Fall. This week, we spent a few days at a campground in Honeycomb, Alabama, at the foot of Gunter Mountain on Lake Guntersville, a few miles from Grant.
A sign on US 431 points to Grant and the Kate Duncan Smith DAR School. We went to Grant (pop. 1,047) and drove around the school. It was formed in 1924 as a private school by the Daughters of the American Revolution, one of several envisioned by the DAR for remote sections of the former Confederacy.
The KDS DAR School is still owned by the DAR and is operated as a public school by the Marshall County Board of Education. We enjoyed a picnic lunch at a park, with barbecue and hand-dipped ice cream from Porky’s No. 2 on Main Street in Grant. I don’t know the whereabouts of Porky’s No. 1.
The KDS DAR School plans a centennial celebration for October 3-4.

Thank you. Cathey took the photo. The weather was great, except for a couple of thunderstorms. We enjoyed studying Goose sociology. Two geese and a gander seem to be raising a gosling that grew dramatically over 3-4 days. One day, a small group of adult (Cathey says adolescent) ganders invaded their space. The large gander became the sheriff of the lakeshore and chased the visitors away. He also kept a wary eye on a resident blue heron–and us.
