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."

"Our group (Escapees GeoCachers) recently received our first tags. We LOVE them and are very excited to be sharing them with others. The workmanship is top notch and the colors are vibrant. We look forward to planning tags that commemorate our activities as both cachers and Rv'ers. Thanks so much!"

"I received my order of Caliber's CACHE CAB path tags yesterday. They were delivered a day or two before I expected them. I'm delighted with end result. You folks took my somewhat lacking artistry and turned out a product that I'm most proud of. Thank you Path tags. Caliber"

"I loved Ver. 1 of this tag but Ver. 2 is a lot better. My name adds to my Ham Radio Call Sign and the custom ID on the back is fantastic, I love it. The colors are great, they represent two flags. Excellent work!!!"

"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. "

"We received our pathtags recently, and upon posting them on the site, we have had an enomorous amount of interest in them. They turned out very, very neat and the colors and glitter just add to their look. We are excited to exchange with ones that are interested in ours and that way we get some really cool and neat ones in return. Thanks for making such a neat item for us to use in trading and in geocaching. crickettlegs and Twomikes2003"

"I've received today my tags and..... they are incredible. It was my first design and I was worried because the images are too small but when I've seen them I've realized how perfect the little shapes are. Great work. Thank you very much."

"I received my first ever pathtag today and when I received my parcel I was so excited! I love my tag, it is exactly the way I pictured it and more."

"When we got our "George William" tag last week Mark was blown away. Everyone he's shown it to, or given it to are amazed. We are talking non taggers here, we have donated some to be sold in the Gift Shop at Cobby to help towards the fund raising at the Museum. We are ever so grateful for the fantastic design work done by Mrs. CCT. Cheers Gayle & Mark"
