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."

"Pathtags offer something for everyone. They are a classy and inexpensive signature item to drop into geocaches. They are also fun collectibles that are easily traded with other Pathtag collectors. If you become addicted to them, you might even join one of the many Pathtag forum community clubs. My Iron Man tag was part of the Super Hero Club, which was my first club tag."

"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"

"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!!!"

"We just got our first Path Tags. They are great! We can't wait to start leaving them in geocaches. They got here in plenty of time for us to take them to Midwest GeoBash (2009) in July. Thanks for the great service."

"Just got my "Jackalgirl's Hanko" Pathtags in the mail. WOW! They look better than the blueprint! I'm really thrilled and am super-glad I ordered 250, because I plan on handing these out like candy. Wheee!"

Jackalgirl

"I started having tags made at the beginning of 2009 and this is my 14th of now 16 tags. Needless to say I believe in the quality and consistency of these little buggers. It is a good artful release and the tag community is fantastic and fun to communicate with. This tag was a labor of love from me and the designer. It took a while to get it "right" but the tag team worked with me every inch of the way and the final product is STELLAR ! Much thanks to the tag team at Pathtags and my designer Jamie. You could even say it glows ! "
