This is the final installment of the feature on pathtags.
It has been said that “every picture tells a story” or that “a picture is worth a thousand words”. In the world of geocaching every geocoin or pathtag tells a story. As a matter of fact, pathtags are little quarter-sized works of art. Pathtags do a great job helping people express those important interests, people, and events that cachers want to communicate.
For Burnsville’s Daphne Connolly (Catzilla), her favorite kind of tags are any that are patriotic because it reminds her of those important in her life.
“Anything to do with the military, the USA, and the US Flag on it. They are my favorite because I owe a lot to the men and women (including my father, my husband, my brother, my sister-in-law, and two of my brothers-in-law) who have served, are serving, or will be serving, this wonderful country that I live in and love so much.”
For others, tags that represent a special event are most meaningful. Mark and Kris Kuhn (Team Dogs and Tri-Chick) of Robbinsdale created a tag that represented their dating relationship as well as a tag that commemorates theirwedding ceremony that took place during a LasVegas marathon. The tag features both Mark and Kris’ running shoes, the LasVegas sign, two wedding rings, and music notes to signify the “Rock and Roll Marathon.” Kris felt that it was a special way to commemorate their wedding by “marrying” their love for geocaching and running.
For some, their pathtag represents unique interests or hobbies beyond the world of geocaching. For Rocky S. Robello (KA7EII) of Sandy, Utah his first tag represents his love for Ham Radios. In the future he hopes to make more tags that celebrate his interest in astronomy and 78rpm records.
What about you? Do you have plans to ever make a pathtag? What sort of pathtag design would be worth a thousand words for you?
