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."

"When I found my first pathtag I moved it to another geocache not knowing what I had found. After learning more about them, I found another a few months later and I kept it. Then another few months went by and I had the priviledge of meeting Jellyfish and trippy1976 at an event, within minutes I was hooked! Ed and Mike not only were able to answer my questions, they gave me a few tags to help fuel the desire to create, gift and trade my own. I've since created 2 tags with 2 more planned for the near future, with more to follow. Another pathtag addict is born, thanks for helping with the addiction! ~Lion "

"I am so WOWed by this tag! The details are perfect! Thank you SO much for the time and care you put into it! It only makes me want to order more. :) "

"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

"When I found my first Pathtag in a cache I didn't know what it was, but soon found out by going to pathtags.com. After seeing the amazing tags produced, I decided to have my own made, and your production staff did an amazing job with all the detail. I am so pleased with the final Pathtag. I know this will not be my only Pathtag."

"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

"When we got our "George William" tag last week Mark was blown away. Everyone he's shown it to, or given it to are amazed. We are talking non taggers here, we have donated some to be sold in the Gift Shop at Cobby to help towards the fund raising at the Museum. We are ever so grateful for the fantastic design work done by Mrs. CCT. Cheers Gayle & Mark"

"Just received my pathtags this weekend they are off the hook. They are exactly what I wanted and just in time for The Midwest Geobash. I can't wait to swap tags!!!"

"This is my first of many pathtags. From beginning to end it was awesome service - right from the great design team (Jamie and Jessie at "DesignbyJ&J") to the great crew at Pathtags. Everyone did their best to give me the finished product I wanted. Being a retired "Coastie" and having my son serving now this is a very special pathtag to me."

"If you would have said in 2007 that I would have pathtags made as a signature coin, I would have said you were off your rocker. ;) My husband found the game of Geocaching in September of 2007, by accident, with the purchase of a GPSr. As we were working different shift schedules, he evenings and I working days...he spent quite a bit of time "nightcaching". I later got more involved after we met some great people who are now great friends. Then pathtags were discovered! When I learned that these were items you could keep, unlike the travel coins, I was hooked! This is our first pathtag and much to my husband's dismay, this may be as bad as my "purse and shoes addictions". Thanks for all the patience in getting this one just right. :) "

"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."
