Pacific Lamprey Challenge

When the US Fish and Wildlife Department wanted to create a challenge cache series to educate the public about the Pacific Lamprey, they wanted to give participants something to remember the experience by. They were looking for a gift that would be meaningful to Geocachers, but which is available on a budget. They selected Pathtags!

The only way to get their beautiful tag is by completeing the cache series, located just Southwest of Olympia, Washington.

Here are all six mystery cache sites:

The overall goals of this program are:

Educate the public about the Pacific Lamprey
Educate the public about the Chehalis River Basin and the partners working to conserve/restore it.
Connect People With Nature via geocaching

Walton Robotics FIRST Team 2974 Pathtag

FIRST is a nonprofit organization founded by famed inventor Dean Kamen to promote Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) careers among young people. The vehicle for making this happen is a program of competitive robotics tournaments for children as young as Kindergarten through high school.

In 2013, Walton Robotics Team 2974 decided to do something special to leave a lasting impression on the people they "crossed paths with" at their competition. They created a Pathtag to give to other attendees!

Lisa Malice, one of the team's mentors, said "The pathtags were a big hit with the students because it was a unique give-away and because of the creative approach to spreading our message. Geocachers I met loved it, but the muggle families I talked with were really intrigued! We are starting to see log ins pop up on our tag map, including the ones I sent to Australia and Oregon to collectors who agreed to place them in geocaches."

"It is only to let you know that I did receive my first Pathtag this morning. It really looks great, even better than the blueprint. Less than one month between accepted blueprint and delivery at my home overseas!! Great job. Thanks a lot!! "

"Well, I got my Pathtags today, I love them, very cute and its a wonderful gift to give while geocaching. Something I enjoy finding and collecting while getting exercise. So excited when I got the mail today, also cause in two days we leave for Costa Rica, and I wanted to have my pathtags to take down with me while geocaching. If I hadn't found a Pathtag while geocaching I would have never known about them. "

"Wow! My latest tags arrived today & I am really impressed with how they turned out... but then again, I have generally found that my tags exceed expectations. It's always great to come home & find a Pathtag parcel waiting for me! Thanks."

"Many thanks to Design by J and J for their excellent work on this tag. The colours are so much more vibrant than the blueprint shows. This tag could not have turned out better."

"I loved Ver. 1 of this tag but Ver. 2 is a lot better. My name adds to my Ham Radio Call Sign and the custom ID on the back is fantastic, I love it. The colors are great, they represent two flags. Excellent work!!!"

"Este es mi primero, y estoy realmente contento del trabajo qiue habeis realizado, gracias!!"

"When I first found a Pathtag and saw that it didn't cost very much to make my own... I thought... I can make some of my jeep. I take pictures of my jeep all the time and think THAT PICTURE WILL MAKE A GREAT PATHTAG! I now have 3 made of my jeep... and working on a 4th... "

"My very first Pathtags just arrived, and wow, are they great! I used my own artwork, and your blueprinters rendered it so well; the Pathtag turned out beautifully. Now I've got to start sending it out to all the people who traded with me. Best of all, I got them in time for this weekend--I'll have a Pathtag to drop in my 100th cache!"

Quossum
