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 received my starter kit today and immediately ordered an additional 100 tags. I could not believe the quality, craftsmanship and detail at such an affordable price. These will definately catch the eye of any geocacher that finds one, even more so once I get one into a Pathtag Sherpa geocoin. Thanks for another hobby !"

"We love this tag and never believed it would turn out to be so special. When our friends look at it we alway hear a hugh aaahhhh. "

"I was introduced to pathtags by my mother and father and even more at The Midwest Geobash of 2009. I had a set of two tags made for my past Hazard--Perry County Tour IV Weekend Geocaching Event and sold some of my tags to other geocachers in my area as well as in other places of the United States and other countries and then began trading them here on pathtags.com. I enjoy and have enjoyed trading my tags with several collectors of tags in the US as well as in other countries. I love Pathtags!!"

"I found my first Pathtag in 2009 and did not know what it was. I just gave them away or placed them in other caches. Once I realized that you could trade and collect them with Geocachers around the world I was hooked. This is my first tag, Designed by Dark Star and limited to 100. It is still undergoing revisions, but I know it will turn out awesome. Team Low Tech is a iPhone(3G/S) Geocaching group with active members in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. "

"I received my new postiegirl Pathtags last week and I am very happy with them. The quality is more amazing than I expected and I would recommend pathtags.com to anyone! Cheers for all the help with my first design - I can't wait to get #2 made up now! My tag isn't for open trading but just to share with my geocaching buddies of which I know, those who already have one are happy with it too ! PG :O)"

"I am VERY pleased with how my Cheshire Cat turn out and have already enveloped my trades to go out tomorrow! Working with Texas Dreamweaver on my design was great, and PathTags took care of me as advertised! Change your art, your finish, whatever - they will keep at it until you are satisfied! I am sporting my Smiley now!"
