Here is the response that I received from Pathtags.com about the tag backs.

I think with us doing our own pathtag sale (we can show our sales of that already to them, we might be able to get a tag back right away. we might have to get a rough idea of how many people are interested. If it happens in time, would like to get it for our 5000 find tag we are workin on.

Hi Barry,

Usually a club will use their logo. We limit the back to a single color right now.

Also, you can bring up the fundraiser program. Generally, we require a club to participate in the fundraiser program first to gauge overall interest for tag products by that club’s member before we invest in a tag back for them. Here are the fundraiser program details:

Here is our standard information:

Hello!

This is Mike Wunderlich, owner of Pathtags.com – aka “trippy1976” in the Geocaching world. Groups from all over have been taking advantage of some of our great fundraising options to have fun earning money at no risk. I wanted to provide your group with some information around these programs.

The first program is our Fundraiser Tag Program. I have provided a link to the full details below, but will summarize here. Under this program, your organization develops a Pathtag design. Typically this will be your group’s logo or similar. Pathtags.com will produce the tag for you at no cost to the organization. We produce them in sets of 20 tags and then list them for sale at GeocoinStore.com for $20 per 20 pack. For each 20 pack that sells, your organization will get $5. It’s a great no-risk fundraiser. Organizations such as Michigan Geocaching Organization, Texas Geocaching Association and the Military Association of Geocachers have earned hundreds for their organization at no cost and no risk. We would love to invite you to pariticipate in this popular program.

A second opportunity is available based on the success of the fundraising program. Your organization can have a tag back created that features your logo and website URL using 1 color enamel. On Pathtags.com we make your back available as an option when purchasing a Pathtag for $.10 per tag additional cost. Every penny of that $.10 per tag goes to your organization and there is no setup fee or other cost to your organization to have a tag back. It’s another great way to earn money for your organization through Pathtags without risk or investment.

I’d be happy to answer any questions you have about these programs and look forward to hearing back from you!

Well you got one week, we will be going thru there next friday

Here are some other state associations tag backs

it would be .10 extra per tag for a total of $10 on a order of 100 tags, with 100% going to the WGA

could be a easy money maker

Ive sent a message to Pathtags to see what the WGA would have to do to get the ball rolling on this.

We now have 11 of the little otter caches.

We will be going thru your area Halloween weekend, and will have to try it.

[Barry Butrymowicz]

We have logged everyone of our DNF’s this year, just counted them and there was 86 this year.

[Barry Butrymowicz]

there are 2 major cartels that use land in this area to grow their stash, the large bust that happened here in the mountain area was the worst of the two. Heard from one of the wardens that, If the area was stumbled upon, the workers had orders to shoot on site, and the area was manned 24/7.

Just a FYI

[Barry Butrymowicz]

Brian,

If no one else expresses interest in them, we will keep them alive. we have found 3 of the 5

If you are loading the GPX File to the GPS using the same file name it will overwrite the first one, try changing the name

Hard to read the note that I added to the screen shot, but in the area with the red border, make sure you have a unique name.

I use the name of my PQ like greenbay.gpx or mountain.gpx

Hope this helps

[Barry Butrymowicz]

you can put a maximum of 5000 Caches in the 550 or maximum of 20 GPX files problem that I have found is if the PQ’s overlap the caches will be in the GPS twice. so after you log a found there will still be a cache on your map.

Using GSAK you can filter out the double caches and keep the number of PQ’s down on the unit. I have been filtering by state on Mine being closer to the UP of michigan and can put in the unit most of the caches in the entire UP and NE wisconsin with out reaching the 5000 limit.

It will tell you when you have reached 5000 and it will just dump the extras. but no idea how it picks and chooses which ones to leave out

Check out this site for some great info on your new 550

[Barry Butrymowicz]

what might have happened, (it happened to us) a log was deleted by a cache owner, after you had that cache in your database of found caches. When you upload your new all finds PQ it will not remove it from the database, it only updates and adds the new ones to the list.

We were one off for a while till we figured that out.

all you have to do is hit paste when you are on your “edit your profile” page.
and the HTML code will show up.
