Over the past decade that we have been going to lights on the Great Lakes area, my lovely wife and I have been able to collect quite a few patches of Great Lakes lights...........
We have seen, from time to time on our travels, a few others with our "Patch Passion", displaying them on black vests as to show where they had been..........
So, I thought we could have a listing here of which places have Great Lakes patches -- Not everyplace has these, sadly, but for the few that do, we could get a "Database" of sorts going here, so as to let anyone here interested know at what lights these patches can be found....
There is 4 basic categories of patches --------
1) Round, Square, Oval, Rectangle, Triangle, Etc...That has the name & the Image of the lighthouse on the patch....
2) Round, Square, Oval, Rectangle, Triangle, Etc...That has the name of the PLACE, but not the name or the Image of the lighthouse....
3) Generic-type patches, that may have the name & Image, but the patch material contains only the bottom portion with a name and the top portion with a light tower, These patches have no other background backing......
4) Other patches from areas without lighthouses..........
