The length of the trail has increased 0.8 miles
Apparently bear canister's aren't high on the priority list in 2017

Fortunately bear cans remain under the AT folks radar.
Does the tag have any benefits? Like the Park Service Geezer Pass?
Have fun.

is that just a brag tag of sorts, or some sort of registration or permit?

It's the tag the ATC sends out when you register your start date. I just called them and apparently there are no discounts or perks to having one. They told me it should be placed on your pack to remind others to "Leave No Trace"

Mine is hanging in my car on a vent. It's my reminder as to why I am driving for Uber after working a long day.... to save up :D

I have mine hanging in my car. It reminds me that driving for Uber & Lyft at the moment is helping fund the hike (car is still in decent shape, I'll deal with problems with it when I get home). And, it's a great conversation starter to boot!

Got mine within 2 weeks of registration.

Official looking window blind or ceiling fan pull tab. :p

Well, now the person who started the all important thread asking about how deep to dig cat holes has their official ATC answer.

I got mine on Saturday :D I was so excited I opened it up in the kitchen and was dancing the whole time saying "It's here it's here it's here!!!".
