I section hike and I'm collecting patches along the way. This is the duffle bag I throw my pack into and check at the airport. What patches have y'all collected over your AT hike?

There is a facebook group hiking for patches you might enjoy. On my pack I wear the AT 2000 miler and a El Camino patch, I have several others.

So far all we have is the GA 80 miler patch but we're looking to collect more!

I like to swap my patches out occaisionally, so I sewed a 4"x4" piece of loop Velcro on my pack, and the hook Velcro to the back of patches I pick up. Easy to change patches whenever the mood strikes.

I haven't seen those mileage rockers for individual states before. Nice. Where did you find them?

That's from the Nantahala Hiking Club (http://www.nantahalahikingclub.org/patches/). I check out the ATC's maintaining clubs page (http://www.appalachiantrail.org/home/about-us/regional-partnerships) before hiking to see if I can earn a special badge from the section's maintaining club or at least get a club patch.

I looked at this thread thinking Clarence Carter started it!
