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."

"The craftsmanship of these Pathtags are absolutely amazing. I'll have to admit, when I would read the stories of others and their Pathtags, I thought maybe they were getting a little overexcited. But now that I received my first Pathtags, I can see why. The whole experience of taking an idea in your mind, making sketches of it, drawing your idea and then submitting it, waiting to see the final blue print, don't even compare to the proud moment you eagerly open up the package from the mail and see the final product. WOW! Now I sound like an overly excited Pathtag owner. Oh well, I like the addiction."

"I received my tags in great time and condition considering they are heading around the world to me. Delighted with my first tag. I will defintely be back for more!!"

pippamer

"Woot!! Got my tags today and they look great. Happy to have another trader tag. Thanks!"

R/Gbots

"I just wanted to send you a note to let you know I received my pathtags and how overwhelmingly satisfied I am with them. They came out even better than I expected they would considering the problems we were having getting the template right. I can't wait to start trading them at events and on the trails. I will definitely keep you in mind when I am ready for my 2008 pathtag, as well as my wife's pathtag."

"I was really amazed how wonderful this tag turned out. Thanks again for such a quality job and fast production. I cant wait to start trading these and already have my next tag in mind for an event I am hosting. T-Hunter (thunter16148) Continental, Ohio"

"Rocky Glen Grommets are absolutely delighted with their Curry Quarry Emu - midnightgothicangel and the production team have done a magnificent job - our shipment arrived earlier than we expected and Quarry Emu is already in circulation around the globe!"

Rocky Glen Grommets

"This is my first glitter tag and I am just rapt with the fantastic job the factory has done! It is such a simple design that I wasn't sure how it would look, but I am really happy with how it has turned out. Thanks once again!"

"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... "

VFISH1992

"This tag turned out better than I expected. I wanted a tag to give to those I want to thank. I'll leave it with the tip at restaurants, give it to the store clerk, the mail carrier, event hosts, and of course my favorite traders. I hope they like it as much as I do. Thanks!!!"

R/Gbots

"These tags are such great symbols of each creator! I snapped a picture of my three boys during a caching adventure and thought it would make a great tag. The idea of adding glitter to make my boys "special" to others was too much to resist. Flash Tag Designs took an "OK" picture, tweaked and detailed and now I have...WOW....a reminder of a great day my cache buddies and I had. It also provides an opportunity for me to brag about and show off my "kids". Excellent work Pathtags team! The details, colors and commitment to quality make each masterpiece worth the wait!"
