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."

"I am beyond excited about our new pathtags! We weren't sure how they were going to turn out with our much lacking graphic design. But they turned out AWESOME!! Thank you so much. Now we are already planning a new design. Thank you PATHTAGS you guys put out such a quality product! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!"

"I sent the blueprint back and forth several times worried my tag wouldn't work out as well as I had hoped -- and I was right. It turned out better! I am now a full-fledged Pathtag convert! These are great caching items, more affordable than a coin and an awful lot of fun to trade. I enjoy the tags and the workmanship is incredible. The company is easy and great to deal with, too, which makes the experience all that much better. Thanks and I can't wait to make my next tag!"

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

"I love the special enamels that are available, and really like how our Stormtrooper Halloween tag turned out using them! Our tag has both translucent and glow colors. The translucent colors really add depth to the tag design, and they can be added at any time. The glow colors are a fun element... just shine a light on them and then turn out the lights. Very cool!"

Imperial Walkers

"Received my Pathtags. It looks good, very good. While it is just a modification of my original with the addition of my name on the front, my town on the back plus a change in metal color it looks quite an improvement. My original Pathtag has been logged over 100 times, hope this new design has an even better run."

VO2WW

"I was a bit worried after I got the "what this will look like" back. But very happy I said yes. It turned out very well. They did a great job of fixing up my mistakes in the design and cleaned it up a bit. I'm very happy with how it has turned out."

Tape worm

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

R/Gbots

"I brought up my Japanese Manhole Series on the forums just to see if there was an interest. WHOA!! I wasn't ready for all the Kudos and WANTS I received. I've got the first two in for production and 3 more ready to go! Getting initial feedback from my peers was an inspiration and motivator to get my series in the works! As Fakk2 put it, "A manhole cover is nothing but a pathtag on steroids!" THANK YOU one and all!"

DragonFly Dreams

"Great looking tag! I was surprised at the detail of the tag. I was amazed by the care and detail taken with the pathtag!"

"When I found my first Pathtag in a cache I didn't know what it was, but soon found out by going to pathtags.com. After seeing the amazing tags produced, I decided to have my own made, and your production staff did an amazing job with all the detail. I am so pleased with the final Pathtag. I know this will not be my only Pathtag."
