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."

"What's a pathtag? How do you make one? You mean people will actually like and want your tag and trade for one? I think I drove Gary at TexasDreamweaver nuts, but he did a great job! I waited, and waited.....checked the blueprint 20 times a day. I waited....and waited....anxiety building, excitement mounting as I told everyone I work with about these. They arrived on a Friday...and I RIPPED the box open in my CAR!! Ahhhhhh! They were GORGEOUS!! The detail! The color! and when you advertised GLOW, did they EVER! I frantically reordered and am designing another. 2 tags and I'm addicted to that rush you get when you hold that little work of art in your hand! Thank YOU. Your effort and attention to detail are outstanding!"

"I brought up my Japanese Manhole Series on the forums just to see if there was an interest. WHOA!! I wasn't ready for all the Kudos and WANTS I received. I've got the first two in for production and 3 more ready to go! Getting initial feedback from my peers was an inspiration and motivator to get my series in the works! As Fakk2 put it, "A manhole cover is nothing but a pathtag on steroids!" THANK YOU one and all!"

DragonFly Dreams

"Love my first PathTag!! Came out wonderfully. It is amazing just ow small that print can cone out on these things. Shared a couple of my tags with cachers from the UK and Germany. They were not even sure what they were. Hopefully we have spurred some interest and PathTags will be springing up in caches over there. Creation to delivery was pretty quick. Great communication too. I always knew what was going on with my tag. I still have plenty to share. Drop a note and ask to trade!!"

"WOW!,received my first Pathtag design yesterday and it had turned out far better than expected."

"These came out way more beautiful than I could have imagined! Thank you!"

"ROCKY GLEN GROMMETS received their first of two tags in the mail today and they are wicked! Midnightgothicangel has done an amazing job - so good in fact that we've just ordered another 4 designs she's created for us. The Groms are going to be SO excited when they get home from school. Bob Grom is a member of our family at RGG (we picked him up out of a cache on the Eyre Peninsula (Australia))"

Rocky Glen Grommets

"The amount of intricate detail possible in these little treasures is truly amazing. I always await each new design with finger-twitching anticipation. My sixth design and I still can't make it into the house to open the envelope. This one made it as far as the front steps and I just couldn't take the suspense anymore! The communication on this VERY detailed tag was consistent and detailed. I LOVE working with the pathtags team....almost as much as when I put this tag into the hands of someone who has never seen a pathtag before! Ah, yes.....I'm an addict! And proud of it!"
