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 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

"I have loved every single Pathtag I've ordered, but when they arrive in my mailbox and I rip that box open, I am even MORE thrilled at how they turned out! This one is beautiful! Thank you!"

StampTeacher

"I was introduced to pathtags by my mother and father and even more at The Midwest Geobash of 2009. I had a set of two tags made for my past Hazard--Perry County Tour IV Weekend Geocaching Event and sold some of my tags to other geocachers in my area as well as in other places of the United States and other countries and then began trading them here on pathtags.com. I enjoy and have enjoyed trading my tags with several collectors of tags in the US as well as in other countries. I love Pathtags!!"

"This was my first pathtag design and was not sure what to expect from my creation, but the tags came out better than I expected :)"

"I just love all the color and detail that explode off these tiny bits of metal. One of the many great things about these tags are the reactions people submit when they find your tag in a cache. The life of a Pathtag doesn't end when they get shipped! I enjoy the trades and the excitement shared when someone discovers a tag. Thank you for your continued amazing work, attention to detail and the system that keeps the Pathtag community alive."

"Wow... I knew it was just going to be black and silver but the detail you did made it pop! I love it! This is my third tag in 2 1/2 months. I think I'm addicted :) But every one I have submitted have come out better than I thought possible! Thanks for all your great work on all the tags!"

"We received our pathtags recently, and upon posting them on the site, we have had an enomorous amount of interest in them. They turned out very, very neat and the colors and glitter just add to their look. We are excited to exchange with ones that are interested in ours and that way we get some really cool and neat ones in return. Thanks for making such a neat item for us to use in trading and in geocaching. crickettlegs and Twomikes2003"
