    Default 2017ers are you going to put that yellow tag on your pack?

    Just taking a casual poll, for those of us that registered through the ATC we got a yellow they hiked tag we can display on our pack. Just wanted to see how many planned on displaying it.

    I registered but being an international I didn't get a yellow tag. Looks like it may weigh about 5 grams so I wouldn't be carrying it, if I got one. (That was a joke LOL)

    Apparently if you go to the visitor centre at Amicalola Falls and tell them you are registered and an international walker, you can get one. I presume the same would be true for Harpers Ferry.

    If you register your start date with the ATC, they will send you a yellow plastic ATC tag with the principles of LNT listed on it. It's meant to hang on your pack as a reminder and probably doesn't weigh a 1/4 ounce.

    They came late last year so not many had them. Mine was attached to my pack all the way to Maine.

    FYI, I don't need to have a LNT tag on my pack, I think mine will be a souvenir left at home

    You mean WAS your scale. I rolled over and "borrowed" it when you weren't looking.

    No deadline as far as I know, but they do limit the number that they give out for each planned start date.

    Here is the link if you need it, this will also show you if any days are full.

    Funny, my wife used to have a nice digital cooking scale, now I have a gear scale that happens to live in the kitchen cabinet.
