#FlatTrip25 DAY 7 / 7 COMPLETE

My final stop was Nifty Keen where this guy has been waiting patiently for me for months. (My partner told me I could buy him if I got the job)

#FlatTrip25 DAY 6 / 7 COMPLETE
Distance: 604 km
Duration: 7 hours
Notes:
The drive from Calgary to Kelowna was a wild and twisty one through the mountains. The snow reminded me of what it will be like to drive in Winter again! Today I kept it simple.

Kelowna, BC. What a sweet mountainside city!
I visited their offerings and wasn’t disappointed with the finds nor the people. Everyone’s so committed to taking care of each other here.
Sweetnam’s Nik Naks even has a card selection with proceeds going to the local children’s hospital! #FlatTrip25
Ok now we’re talkin’!!!
Next stop is Kelowna, BC. Currently enjoying the snowy views of the Rockies. Will be making a stop off in one of the national parks for coffee 💚🇨🇦 #Banff #Rockies #FlatTrip25
#FlatTrip25 DAY 5 / 7 COMPLETE
Distance: 740 km
Duration: 7.5 hours
Notes:
Some fun pickups today, mostly from the antique mall of all places! I think I’m beginning to realize they are way better for not only value, but even selection and “surprise factor”!

Arrived in Calgary and visited “Alpha Comics”. Arguably the coolest and most stocked shop I’ve visited so far. #ComicSky #Calgary #ComicBooks #FlatTrip25
It really do be like this for 2500 km across the prairie provinces huh!? #FlatTrip25 #Canada #RoadTrip
#FlatTrip25 DAY 4 / 7 COMPLETE
Distance: 575 km
Duration: 5.5 hours
Notes:
Check engine light on my way to Regina, SK today… looks like I might have some car troubles tomorrow so wish me luck.
I stuck to antique shops since the local shops only carry new books. $1.50 CAD each!

#FlatTrip25 DAY 3 / 7 COMPLETE
Distance: 615 km
Duration: 7.5 hours
Notes:
Ok so it’s Winnipeg, MB not AB 😂
I picked up the Iron Man book for $5… am I on a lucky streak? Hulk was free.
It’s a wonderful city. I’ve got a cushy hotel so I’m eating a THC gummy and watching a movie.

Winnipeg, AB! Aside from having to tell off a homophobe at the flea market, this city is AMAZING.
I visited too many shops to name and took too many pics to post so here are the highlights… more in the comments!
Will post my pickups later tonight!!!

Made a stop at the Wawa Goose (see additional pics in comments)
Thunder Bay definitely has rough spots but the folks are very nice!
There’s only 1 road into town from the East covered with construction 😩 🚧

Visited “Hill City Comics” in Thunder Bay today among a few other shops.
Check it out! The owner has a little comic pressing station in the basement! (see the last pic)
“Gentle Giant Vintage” was also an absolute delight but I forgot to take pics 😆

#FlatTrip25 Additional pics from day 1. Close up of these random Hulk marbles (anyone see these before?!) and my guard dog for the night Nikka!
Hulk marbles, Star Trek, pogs and cheap key comics oh my!

Notes:
YES, that She Hulk book was only $4 CAD.
Also, rural Ontario is actually extremely LGBTQIA2S+ friendly and honestly I think we have the strong indigenous population to thank for that wonderful paradigm 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ 🧡
