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 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!!!"

VO2WW

"This is my first tag and when it came I was very happy with the quality and craftmenship. I made the lettering a little small but the detail still makes it readable. The pathtag community is also one of the helpful and kind group I have ever run across. THANKS to all of the pathtag folks and community "

Pandamandium

"I couldn't be happier with my Greatest Inventions tag. The details they were able to retain in this printing press design are unbelievable! Thank you so much!! "

StampTeacher

"The Red Deer 18th Morrisroe Scouts have been operating in Red Deer since 1972. This is our first tag. The quality is outstanding. We have been Geocaching since 2007. This pathtag allows to share a little about ourselves and gives us another reason to get outside and enjoy Scouting."

NeroJustice

"Mahalo for my tags. I wasn't expecting them for about another two weeks. Mahalo nui loa to Emma at midnightgothicangel@yahoo.com for putting together the art work for me. "

kawehilyn

"Once we decided to make our first Pathtag, I couldn't submit the design quickly enough. We were so excited to have our own personal Pathtag signature item. We definitely weren't disappointed, and were amazed how fantastic the tag turned out! I am looking forward to making another tag soon. These little guys are sooooo addictive! :-)"

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

"Darren had told me all about these on the geotalk australia podcast. I never actually got to see one for myself until the Oz Mega event in Wagga Wagga on the Easter weekend. I had some on order, but never got them in time to trade at the event and I got them today. The service was fast and excellent, even though I am an Impatient man. I love them... simple and plain. and with a vanity serial number that I am so proud of and that you will never get to see unless you trade with me. TFTT."

"I had wanted a tag since I had heard about them. The staff at PathTags were very helpful. I love my tag and it's exactly as I designed it."

erikwillke

"The craftsmanship of these Pathtags are absolutely amazing. I'll have to admit, when I would read the stories of others and their Pathtags, I thought maybe they were getting a little overexcited. But now that I received my first Pathtags, I can see why. The whole experience of taking an idea in your mind, making sketches of it, drawing your idea and then submitting it, waiting to see the final blue print, don't even compare to the proud moment you eagerly open up the package from the mail and see the final product. WOW! Now I sound like an overly excited Pathtag owner. Oh well, I like the addiction."
