Cool, remove the Saranac 6 patch, and back to 18 right?
Anybody find a Snowy Mt patch? If somebody is reading this forum, hint hint
A place in Long Lake sells Goodnow, Owls Heads (LL not the one by Cascade) and either Coney or Goodman, but those three are slightly different, a bit smaller, and I would exclude from this grouping of 18.

Originally posted by Hoser View PostWhat series are the three mentioned above? The ones produced by Mountaineer, or different, such as the three I named from LL area? This list is getting official...cool stuff.

While we're on the topic of patches. Has anybody ever seen these before? As I was poking around last night trying to find additional Adirondack patches I came across these on eBay. Seem to be generic type mountain backgrounds rather than the custom ones we're used to seeing. Wondering where these came from.

Google "custom embroidered patches" and you'll get a list of shops that'll make whatever patch you want.
Sawtooth #2 and Sawtooth #1 are also known as "Cutter" and "Raker".
The pointy one on the left is Cutter, the broad-ridged one to its far right is Raker
You could have a custom shop make "Cutter" and "Raker" patches. Heck, you could have them make a patch for each of the "Other 54", namely the peaks of the ADK Hundred Highest (ADKHH) beyond the ADK46.
However, I doubt there would be a market for ADKHH patches. Very few people who complete the ADK46 go on to do the ADKHH. Plus the people I've met who have completed it, or aspire to do so, don't appear to collect peak patches. I imagine some do but not the one's I've met.
A much smaller group is those who hike all peaks higher than 3500' (the 770 list). Enough patches to wallpaper a room!

More Gore
They're now making a patch for Gore Mountain so this has become the 19 patch challenge.
Our family is having fun working our way through these on the days the boys and I aren't doing a 46er. We've now completed 6.
I made a Google Sheet with mileage, elevation, and a map of each hike. If you're interested in making a copy for your own use select "File -> Make a copy".
Cascade is not part of the challenge but its stats are included at the bottom as a comparison reference.Last edited by AvalanchePass; 09-22-2017, 04:28 PM.
