How do I start one? There isn't one here and I would like a little bit of fun and motivation for all my miles walked!

Anyone have the info?

Here's the Treasure Hiker program info from the help database.

Pathtags are easy to design and order (it's pretty painless), but there is a bit of a startup investment. A starter set with 50 tags costs $116 (100 is $176).

I read the FAQ last night, do I keep the rules listed in my profile somewhere? How do I get my state listed?

  • Pick a start date for your state program (probably today)
  • Edit the wiki page to include the state, start date, contact, and available tag(s).
  • Announce on your state board (and maybe a regional one)
  • (Optional) Plan a fund-raiser to get startup capitol to pay for the first set of tags
  • Order some treasure hiker pathtags.
  • Have fun!

Let me know if you want help to edit the wiki. I created the Alaska entry for you, but feel free to change it as necessary.

OOOH! Awesome! Thank you!

I found the edit tag at the bottom. I had no idea there was a page here I could edit! I just added the 25 and 50, everything else was perfect!

I will have to come up with rules and the treasure hiker path tags!! As far as the fundraiser goes, it's just me and a few other boxers here in AK I think. I will have to just foot the bill for the tags I think. But, it'll be fine. I think this will largely be for tourists and deniserows. :D

I am excited about this!

No need for that. The rules have already been set and are in Wiki. It makes it consistent and easy for everyone. No need for participants to search for an old post -- just check Wiki. :)

Have fun! I have pathtags in 3 different states now. And my husband has promised a trip to Alaska for our 25th anniversary in a few years so maybe I'll have one from there too some day. :)
