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 found my first PathTag in Sept 2007, but didn't have one of my own made until May 2009. In the past year I have experienced the joy of creating my own PathTags and collecting them 8 times now. I had an idea for a tag design for the Pern Club on the PathTags Forums. With an excellent artwork by TX Dreamweaver and the great work by the PathTags blueprinters my Pern tag was born. I had concerns about it's producibility given the many small details in the design. When I received my tags I couldn't be more pleased. They look fantastic. I'm working on the design for my next tag now. Stay tuned. . ."

"ROCKY GLEN GROMMETS received their first shipment of tags today - Grom2 will especially like the Yamaha Blue and Grom1 will love the orange of KTM - whilst we all love the leg that Australia stands on (Yorke Peninsula). Midnightgothicangel has done a great job in helping us with our designs - just ordered another 4 (based on the Curramulka Emu)"

"If you would have said in 2007 that I would have pathtags made as a signature coin, I would have said you were off your rocker. ;) My husband found the game of Geocaching in September of 2007, by accident, with the purchase of a GPSr. As we were working different shift schedules, he evenings and I working days...he spent quite a bit of time "nightcaching". I later got more involved after we met some great people who are now great friends. Then pathtags were discovered! When I learned that these were items you could keep, unlike the travel coins, I was hooked! This is our first pathtag and much to my husband's dismay, this may be as bad as my "purse and shoes addictions". Thanks for all the patience in getting this one just right. :) "
