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 am so excited to get my first tags.....I have been collecting them and cannot wait to have one of my own.....thanks to kyndrid for the design....my husband says it looks just like me especially the poked out lower lip and the wandering eyes.....that look in all directions for the cache"

"This is my first glitter tag and I am just rapt with the fantastic job the factory has done! It is such a simple design that I wasn't sure how it would look, but I am really happy with how it has turned out. Thanks once again!"

"I have had so many people want to trade this tag. Thanks goes to the designer Gayle who helped me and to the people who created my first signature tag.This tag is so special, it turned out exactly the way it was planned. "

"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 received my new postiegirl Pathtags last week and I am very happy with them. The quality is more amazing than I expected and I would recommend pathtags.com to anyone! Cheers for all the help with my first design - I can't wait to get #2 made up now! My tag isn't for open trading but just to share with my geocaching buddies of which I know, those who already have one are happy with it too ! PG :O)"

"I received my tags the day I left for our church camp for a week. Luckily my parents also work at the camp and were leaving later so they were able to check the mail and brought them to me. The tags turned out great. I gave out a couple to friends that were working the camp that were also Geocachers. I left camp for a little while on a couple of the days to find a couple of local caches and I put one of the tags out in the wild in Buda, TX. We asked the camp director for permission to place a cache outside the gate of the camp and it was granted. Three of us got together and put together a small cache and I placed one of the tags there as well. I can't wait to share them with my fellow Geocachers around home."

"I got my initial order of Pathtags today and have to say that I'm both thrilled and impressed. This is a high-quality signature/trade item that doesn't require the significant ca$h outlay necessary to get a coin minted. I look forward to dropping and trading these, and expect to place another order soon."

"When I first found a Pathtag and saw that it didn't cost very much to make my own... I thought... I can make some of my jeep. I take pictures of my jeep all the time and think THAT PICTURE WILL MAKE A GREAT PATHTAG! I now have 3 made of my jeep... and working on a 4th... "

"Back in May, I designed my pathtag while deployed to Iraq. Two days ago when I got home, I saw my tag in person for the very first time. Suffice to say I was very pleased with how it turned out, so thanks for your quality work in minting it. Now I have to get cracking on fulfilling a number of trade requests... CT"
