Old Car City & Gibbs Garden

It’s finally here, the trip we have been teasing for months. We are headed to OLD CAR CITY to capture nature from a different angle. We have had a lot of interest in visiting this famous  junk yard located in White, GA, and now is your chance. There are 6 miles of trails surrounded by approximately 4000 classic cars. This is one you don’t want to miss.  Everywhere you look there are unique photo opportunities, so be sure to bring your imagination.

You can meet us at OCC, or make plans to meet at exit 81 (Lenoir City) at Bimbos to share a ride. You can take I75, or for our members that live east of the interstate you may want to take the scenic route down HWY 411.  We will be heading out at 7am.

If you want to make an entire day of it, or overnight and make it a two-day event, you can head over to Gibbs Gardens located in  Ball Ground , GA. It’s about a 45-minute drive east of OCC.  Also, Kelli and I may choose to visit Berry College in lieu of the gardens. The college is approximately 45 minutes west of OCC. Either would afford you wonderful photo ops.   We will look for nearby lodging and post what we find, it looks to be fairly limited.

Attached are the links to both websites for hours, pricing, and overviews, as well as the Google Maps link.
