<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/TheEspressoBase">Espresso Base </a>serves both craft drinks and breakfast and lunch entrees from what looks like a tiki bar, so it’s a quick and easy stop. But the expansive yard on the side also invites travelers to stop and relax beneath ancient live oak trees or enjoy the occasional live music and special events.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Breakfast Options</h3>



<p><a href="http://www.SteffensRestaurant.com">Steffens Restaurant</a> not only serves up breakfast dishes made from scratch (also lunch and dinner) but it’s also a treat for the senses. The restaurant dates to 1948 and its history covers the walls. Don’t miss the Southern standard of biscuits and gravy! </p>



<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/WandafulThingsCo">Wandaful Things</a>, a Best of Georgia Award winner, Chef Wanda Clark stretches the breakfast envelope. Clark loves to bake as well, so save room for one of her pastries.</p>

They roll their ice cream creations too, using an ice cream base with gourmet ingredients (you chose), then pile on more sweet goodness and call it Krazee Rollz. Need more enticement?

<p>While Allatoona Lake is one of the country’s most frequently visited Army Corps of Engineers lakes (nearly seven million yearly visitors), after the summer peak boating and camping season it’s more peaceful and serene.</p>
<p>Hike to a hidden battlefield or climb a ridge to an 1860s ironworks with a fascinating history.</p>

<p>More than 15 miles of trails wind through the forested park, providing opportunities for exercise and nature photography. The gravel-topped, four-mile Iron Hill Trail is open to both hikers and bikers, offering pretty views of the lake’s shoreline.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">6 Reasons Why Woodstock, GA Is An Unexpected Must-See City</h2>
<h3>Basecamp to North Georgia</h3>
<p>Easy to get to and easy to get around in, Woodstock is just 10 minutes from Lake Allatoona, 25 minutes to the spectacular Gibbs Gardens and less than an hour to the North Georgia mountains.</p>
<p>Hotel rates are more affordable, yet dining, concerts, theater and shopping are close at hand, along with outdoor activities you’d expect to find much farther from the city.</p>
<p>The historic downtown Woodstock shopping and dining district includes an award-winning mix of new and carefully preserved architecture and energy.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-47472" src="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/reformation-brewery-1.jpeg" alt="reformation-brewery" width="2048" height="1365" srcset="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads//reformation-brewery-1.jpeg 2048w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads//reformation-brewery-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads//reformation-brewery-1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads//reformation-brewery-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads//reformation-brewery-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who knew that <a href="https://oldcarcityusa.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Old Car City USA,</a> a place where junk cars go to live out the rest of their existence, would be such a fascinating stop.</p>
<p>This is a place where nature and vintage cars intermingle to create the world&#8217;s largest classic car junkyard and one of the most photogenic stops you&#8217;ll ever find.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-27812 aligncenter" src="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Old-Car-City-18.jpg" alt="Old Car City" width="730" height="548" srcset="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Old-Car-City-18.jpg 730w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Old-Car-City-18-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Old-Car-City-18-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px" /></p>
<p>Located a short jaunt off of I-75 and a little less than an hour north of Atlanta is this under appreciated roadside attraction that appeals to car lovers and photographers everywhere.</p>
<p>Pull up to the nondescript, ramshackle building and enter a colorful, nature-loving world.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-27811 aligncenter" src="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Old-Car-City-17.jpg" alt="old car city" width="730" height="730" srcset="https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Old-Car-City-17.jpg 730w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Old-Car-City-17-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Old-Car-City-17-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Old-Car-City-17-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Old-Car-City-17-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://www.justshortofcrazy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Old-Car-City-17-1050x1050.jpg 1050w" sizes="(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px" /></p>
<p>Here you will find 6 miles of trails on 34 acres with 4,000+ cars. Beyond the cars, there are a plethora of oddities to be discovered.</p>
<p>The trails hold so much more than cars as you&#8217;ll find words of wisdom scratched onto pieces of metal and wood throughout your adventure.</p>

</p>
<p>Wander around the grounds and see what treasures you can discover. I only had a short amount of time to visit. I covered as much as I could but I know I missed so much more.</p>
<p>Old cars, trucks, buses, artwork, folk art, and so much more.</p>
<p>This is truly a unique attraction that you won&#8217;t want to miss.</p>
