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 was our first experience in designing a Pathtag and we were very nervous during the whole process, from concept to production. Everything went well, and everyone worked with us to make our Pathtag design exactly the way we wanted it. When we received the actual tags yesterday, we were very happy with the final product, which came out better then we had imagined they could be. We absolutely love our tag and can't wait to share them with others and design another one."

"I sent the blueprint back and forth several times worried my tag wouldn't work out as well as I had hoped -- and I was right. It turned out better! I am now a full-fledged Pathtag convert! These are great caching items, more affordable than a coin and an awful lot of fun to trade. I enjoy the tags and the workmanship is incredible. The company is easy and great to deal with, too, which makes the experience all that much better. Thanks and I can't wait to make my next tag!"

"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)"
