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."

"Got my pathtags the other day... they turned out great! Thanks! Avocadoman"

"We received our first personal Pathtag in the mail today and I could not be more pleased. I can't wait to start sending them out into the "wild" Thank you Lee for the wonderful tag. It is awesome and it fits our teams just perfect. "

puddlesnac

"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. "

monaghanman

"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!"

GrinNoCat

"This tag turned out better than I expected. I wanted a tag to give to those I want to thank. I'll leave it with the tip at restaurants, give it to the store clerk, the mail carrier, event hosts, and of course my favorite traders. I hope they like it as much as I do. Thanks!!!"

R/Gbots

"Just received our first pathtag today, Rick at TattoinDesigns did a phenomenal job in the design. I am so looking forward to sharing this with my cousin "LoonyLori" on our trip to NM this March. She will be so surprised. I am not looking to trade any at this time."

GramaCindy59

"This is really NOT an inquiry but a comment. In today's mail, I received my latest pathtag, number 7780 and just love it. It is the best one I have to date. I want to thank you for your quick service and fast turnaround especially during this time of year. I will proudly "sprinkle" my new tags wherever I venture. Once again, thanks so much and I will be ordering more."

RIMROCK

"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"
