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 my 2nd Pathtag of my jeep. I have so many ideas but I cant draw them as fast! I love sharing my tags with new cachers. "

"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!!!"

"i got my pathtags the other day and they were better than i thought they could be. Thank you so much."

"Got my first pathtag delivery today and they're just stunning. Going to be hard to give them away! :)"

"Being new to Geocaching - we weren't too sure what to do when we first discovered a Pathtag - but we soon learned and found a new hobby as well. It is so much fun to find a new one and see where it came from and learn about the owners. I decided to order one for my husband's birthday (he is hard to buy for), so I contacted one of the designers that you have listed, and she helped me with this wonderful design. I think the glitter really adds to it. Luckily, the tags arrived on Saturday and Sunday was his Birthday - so they came in just in time to give them to him. We have had a large amount of interest in them since I put them on the site Saturday night. Thanks for offering this fun way of adding to our Geocaching. We will be dropping them off in some special caches as we go along."

"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. "

"Well, after receiving our first tags I was all set and ready with a new design, so off to photoshop I went and came up with a tag for my choppers. I wanted a different border on it, something that related to motorcycles, and so my chain border was born. It turned out fantastic, thanks again Pathtags. I have many more designs ready to submit, but have to wait a bit."

Boltons

"Well, I got my Pathtags today, I love them, very cute and its a wonderful gift to give while geocaching. Something I enjoy finding and collecting while getting exercise. So excited when I got the mail today, also cause in two days we leave for Costa Rica, and I wanted to have my pathtags to take down with me while geocaching. If I hadn't found a Pathtag while geocaching I would have never known about them. "

"These Pathtags are amazing! I have been bombarded with trade requests. Thank you so much!!"
