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."

"I found my first tag near my house a few months ago and thought it was a tiny geocoin. I got an e-mail from the owner explaining what these tags were all about. I've been hooked ever since! My first design turned out amazing, and I already have ideas for my next two. Can't wait!"

lwnam91

"I was a bit worried after I got the "what this will look like" back. But very happy I said yes. It turned out very well. They did a great job of fixing up my mistakes in the design and cleaned it up a bit. I'm very happy with how it has turned out."

Tape worm

"I am in awe of the wonderful job done in making this pathtag. This was my 5th design (2 for me, 2 for my wife, and 1 for my daughter), and I am always delighted at how well pathtags.com's blueprinting and production department make every detail stand out. I know I will be designing many more in the future."

DoubleTrouble

"I found my first pathtag about 6 months ago and was wow'ed by the quality......but not as Wow'ed as when I got my own.....it is beautiful and such great quality....I can't wait to share them with everyone.....I am so proud of my Caching Crazy tag."

tippi2

"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 can't tell you how happy I am with my set of travel pathtags. They are very special souvenirs of some great journeys I have been fortunate to take, and when I look at them I am flooded with wonderful memories! Thank you for taking Pathman's fabulous designs and bringing them to life. "

StampTeacher

"I just got my set of tags today, and they are perfect! I was a little worried about the detail showing up, or the colors being off, or something, but everything looks great. There is a neat contrast between the dolphin with its gray enamel and silver silhouette of the diver, all surrounded by a beautiful sea of translucent blue. I can't help holding and admiring my new tags!"

fuzziebear3

"I just received my shipment of new pathtags today. They are totally awesome! Thank you, TatteredAngel, for the design help. The red on the black design choice came out better than I expected. "

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

the zombie geocacher

"Tag came in the mail at the end of last week and we are thrilled with it! Looks great and amazed at the quality of the tags. Am now working on second design...that is, once I finish getting these ready to send out for all my trades. THANKS!!!! "
