Hey all,

I got curious about this as last October I hit up the 7 restores in my metro area in one day and got some cool loot. Now that another has opened up right along my routing, I was going to try to go for 8 tomorrow. I'll let y'all know if I can pull this off tomorrow and how it goes.

Routing:

The most I've done is four.

Yeah I think the max I've ever done was four, they're kinda spread apart here. Thrift stores on the other hand are a lot easier to do 5-6, especially since some areas have them in clusters.

Anyway, if you're crazy enough, you can try visiting all 12 Restores in the GTA on a single trip. Apparently it's 4h 15m without traffic, might take 6+ hours in traffic.

Just finished up with Restore #4, got some good PL and tungsten stuff. Currently eating lunch at a local sub place.

Here I  can hit up 3 in  San antonio,  one in Seguine, Tx
  Then New Bransfels ,  then  hit up a canyon lake Thrift
 Store,  then San Marcos restore,  then Village Thrift store
 In wimberly, Tx and finally,  The
  Ben White Restore in Austin
   In one day.

Finished the run, took me about 6 hours with traffic being pretty nasty in spots. Managed to get some more cool incans and an NOS lithonia F40 water resistant light with a mark 1 ballast in it.

Max I've done is 4 and that's mostly due to the distances involved.

They’re so spread out in my part of Florida that I’ve only gotten to one in a day. So far I’ve visited 4, and 3 of those I’ve only visited once, and just within the last year.

I have to say I wasn’t impressed with any of them, the local one actually has a better selection and prices.

I’d like to visit some of the ones in North Florida, but it’s not something I would do unless I was already there for some reason.

I guess Habitats ae like most thrift stores in that you have to visit regularly to find anything. Maybe I just wasn’t at them at the right timing.

I had 9 lined up this last Saturday, but only made it to 6.  I probably could have gotten to 7 or 8 if I had run them in the opposite direction, as the ones at the west end of the line where I started closed at 5, while the ones towards the East that I couldn't make it to closed at 3:30 and 4:30.

2 and NO MORE 
there are ONLY 2 near me and the next one is hours away
