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."

"Got my first Path Tag today and they are great! Ordering was easy and it really didn't take that long."

"I have to agree with others here about the craftsmanship of these tags. I'm sure I'm biased, but these are everything I could possibly have hoped for. I had the design for a second tag in hand, and was waiting to see if I was satisfied with the first. I submitted the second design the same day I received the first. I'm now trading some, and leaving my mark in every cache that will hold a Pathtag. :)"

"Received our first pathtag, and have to say we were more impressed with the result than we were expecting. These things look so much better than the 2D blueprints! We already have a 2nd tag in production, and a 3rd being designed. Addicting stuff indeed."

"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. "

"After attending the Mega event in Wagga Wagga, and seeing all the action of people swapping tag We wanted in on the action after advice from other teams we got home and I drew my cat Kitty and my Husband Hanseeka designed the tag . Now it is made I love it and was very happy with the service thanks."

"I am just amazed at the response to my first tag. It is AMAZING to me that all the folks that I have traded with here have traded honestly and promptly. What a great group of people to trade tags with. I am not hooked on this Pathtag thing and am looking forward to making a second tag. Kudos to the Pathtag Community!!"
