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."

"Received my tags today and I'm very pleased with them. They look better in 3D than the 2D blueprint. I was worried the colors wouldn't blend together. I designed the pathtag myself and was thinking paying someone else the next time but after see the tag in my hand I will be designing my own again. Everyone was great to work with the resubmittals I had and their were a few. I have added additional photos to compare them. Great Job will be designing another one soon."

"Tag came in the mail at the end of last week and we are thrilled with it! Looks great and amazed at the quality of the tags. Am now working on second design...that is, once I finish getting these ready to send out for all my trades. THANKS!!!! "

TEAM HARTSOCK

"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. "

"Who would ever have thought last year when I had my first tag produced that I would be this addicted to pathtags? I have taken on an extra job to pay for my addiction, and now I will own more than 25 tags by the end of 2009. Every time I think I may need help, I realize how much joy those tags bring to me and everyone else. Thank you for an amazing product! "

Stamp's Retired Tags

"Wow, it looks great! And, you got it to me significantly quicker than I had expected, thanks. I can now share my story and my coin. My grandfather, from whom I received the car, would have been proud."

"This is my first of many pathtags. From beginning to end it was awesome service - right from the great design team (Jamie and Jessie at "DesignbyJ&J") to the great crew at Pathtags. Everyone did their best to give me the finished product I wanted. Being a retired "Coastie" and having my son serving now this is a very special pathtag to me."

"This tag was designed by my daughter ssoutherngurll and given to me for Christmas. My thanks to Kyndrid for the help and beautiful work. I have been caching since July of 09 and decided I need a signature tag and man oh man this is it. I was in the Army from 1970 until 1977 and am proud to have a tag like this. The Eagle and Flag stand proud. Freedom is NEVER free. Hope those that have it enjoy it. "

"This tag turned out perfect! I graduated from Shawnee State, affectionately known as "Floodwall Tech". I'm really please with the tag!"

"Received my tags today. Wasn't sure how they would turn out will lots of detail but they are way above my expectations. We even had the pirate logo put on the back. We have had many requests for trades even before they arrived. Thanks Lee from GVSU4MSU for helping with the design."

"Tags arrived yesterday and they far exceed my expectations. Absolutely beautiful job. I designed these as a gift for my daughter and son-in-law and they were thrilled. Thanks, Pathtags."
