Does anyone know where to find some patches related to the AT?
Does each state have their own patch?
I have found the basic AT patch that says Georgia to Maine, but I am looking for more. Thanks.

Several (if not all) of the 13 regional clubs that maintain the AT have patches, some of which may only be available if you join the respective clubs. But, some offer special patches for hikers who have completed their sections. These are not necessarily state specific. There may even be other groups granting patches for completed sections. One example is the Keystone Trails Association in Pennsylvania.

Dunno why I typed 13, there are more maintaining clubs than that. Maybe I was thinking colonies. Anyways, check the link to find them.

Isn't the GATC famous for only selling patches to their members?

My understanding is that there are two GATC patches. The 80 miler, which they will diseminate, and the main GATC patch, which is the one I want.
