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."

"This is our first tag and when it came in we could not believe how perfect it turned out! It is exactly what we ordered it arrived exactly on time and they are awesome! We can not wait until we run into our local cachers so that we can start passing them out; if it wasn't raining right now I would go out and drop a few in some caches right now. Thank you so much everything was handled so perfectly and delivered exactly as promised. I am already thinking of what our next design will be... -cuckootown-"

"I received my order of Caliber's CACHE CAB path tags yesterday. They were delivered a day or two before I expected them. I'm delighted with end result. You folks took my somewhat lacking artistry and turned out a product that I'm most proud of. Thank you Path tags. Caliber"

CALIBER

"We just received our first pathtag, I must say we are very happy indeed. The detail is amazing. Our design came about from a road way sign, discovered while away on the October long weekend event (We didn't start the fire) and a big thank you goes out to The Parrots for help with the design."

Leanne Burton

"Our first tag, and I am VERY impressed by the quality. My daughter and I share the initials KFE, so that has become our caching signature. When I found the Pathtags website I knew then and there I HAD to make a KFE Pathtag. It is something we will cherish forever and share with our caching friends abroad."

KangaDrew

"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 "
