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 so WOWed by this tag! The details are perfect! Thank you SO much for the time and care you put into it! It only makes me want to order more. :) "

StampTeacher

"I really thought I had asked for the impossible with my latest tag. The detail and colors were breathtaking; would the real thing be the same? They were even better! The glitter jumps off the tag and electrifies all the tiny details and motion going on! How you manage, time and time again to create such detail in such a tiny space....well.....WOW! The tag was designed by one of your aspiring partners....Flash Tags....and I am ecstatic at what she created and you brought to life! Thank you. "

"Wow! My latest tags arrived today & I am really impressed with how they turned out... but then again, I have generally found that my tags exceed expectations. It's always great to come home & find a Pathtag parcel waiting for me! Thanks."

"Got my first Pathtag. It is a signature tag of my avatar on my profile. I think it turned out awesome. It really looks much better than I had dreamed. Thanks...couldn't have had a better design. Exceeds all my expectations!"

young_cacher

"At first, when the blueprint was received, we weren't sure whether the tag would have substantial detail to be favorable by our customers... and boy, were we wrong to worry. Not only did this tag turn out to be a true gem, but it's got LOADS of character, size and detail. Be sure to check out the photo we added of the tag in real life. Simply AMAZING! Our customers LOVE it, we LOVE it and we'll certainly be back for more in the future!"

"What can we say? With so much detail crammed into such a small object we weren't sure if this little guy would keep his character. But boy, did this baby turn out grand! Not only did this tag turn out to be a true gem, but it's got LOADS of character, size and INSANE detail. Be sure to check out the photo we added of the tag in real life. Simply AMAZING! Our customers LOVE it, we LOVE it and we'll certainly be back for more in the future!"

illahie

"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!!"

Hootersncooters

"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. :)"

"The tags SUGAR SHACK are even more awesome than I thought they would be. They are my first pathtags and say alot about puffadder's and my life. Thanks to Gary at Texas Dreamweaver for being so patient with me. YA HOO kande "
