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."

"Este es mi primero, y estoy realmente contento del trabajo qiue habeis realizado, gracias!!"

"My first tag was a personal tag with my own Icelandic horse Sina. Really enjoyed the outcome. It seemed fun to prepare a xmas tag for my family and to drop in caches. The design came out beautifully, only problem was I only had ordered 50! I forgot about the online trading community and the busy trading for xmas tags."

"Our tags arrived today ..they are awesome!! We wanted this design, we had so much fun at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta we had to have something to show when we go back!! Thanks so much LeeDesigns!!!"

GeoDc and Linda

"Received my Pathtags. It looks good, very good. While it is just a modification of my original with the addition of my name on the front, my town on the back plus a change in metal color it looks quite an improvement. My original Pathtag has been logged over 100 times, hope this new design has an even better run."

"We are just amazed at the quality of work on these little quarter size pathtags. We are even happier than we thought we would be at the detail and quality. Thanks so much. We are hooked now and plan to make more. "

"This is my second Pathtag made and the first I designed. It's incredible how much detail is put into these tags. When you think about all the work that goes into making these tags it's amazing how little you pay for them! "

Team Geologynut

"I received my 3rd Pathtag shipment today! My first Pathtag was done just four months ago. I have been so pleased with each of my tags. They are attractive, and I am proud to trade them. The whole process has been easy each time. I'm sure it won't be long before I am inspired to order another tag! Thanks!"

Dark Star

"This is our 2nd tag and we ordered maybe a month or two after our first only because we were still trying to decide what we wanted to do or it would have been sooner. We put some ideas together and sent them to Texas Dreamweaver and for the 2nd time he hit it out of the park! Took our ideas and then turned them into something even better than what we knew could be done. From there it was seamless we sent it in to pathtags got the blueprint which was exact the first time and a month later just as promised (arrived 2nd day in the two week window given to us; and that was even during the Thanksgiving Holiday!) they were in our mailbox! They were even better than we thought they would be, finished and in person! Instantly we had a lot of trade requests and have enjoyed every minute of it. We are working on our next tag now; hope to have it submitted in a week. Thanks to all of you that made this happen! cuckootown"

"Received my tags today. Wasn't sure how they would turn out will lots of detail but they are way above my expectations. We even had the pirate logo put on the back. We have had many requests for trades even before they arrived. Thanks Lee from GVSU4MSU for helping with the design."

ghbuccaneers

"Thank you so very much to Pathtags and the designer of the tag, Sunset Tags. The wonderful art of the tag is incredible. This tag is so much better than we had expected. We had fast service from both Pathtags and Sunset Tags. The detail of the work is awesome, and we are proud to leave this signature tag in the geocaches we find. "
