Do HH count as a placed letterbox?

From: p2jd03 (P2jd@aol.com) | Date: 2003-05-11 05:59:13 UTC
When I placed my first letterbox I also released a hitchhiker. It
has been picked up and is on the move. Do I count this as a placed
box in my PFX number?

Sure, why not??? You placed the box, right? Would you count a found
HH towards the "F" ?

count it! Some people choose to count hitchhikers in a different number
(HH), but others just count them in their P quotient. I think it's a
personal decision.

duh! It's two in the morning and I just realized I wasn't thinking
straight. Usually the HH is HHs found not placed isn't it? I think it's
time for bed. I've had a long day, but hey, I planted three new boxes and
got a nice little hike out of it! That's worth being tired.

until later, from a sleepy Cadenza

Isn't the whole, glorious, wonderful part of this sport that there are no hard and fast rules (other than leave no trace)? I can plant my boxes where I want (again, leave no trace), put them in whatever I want (Rubbermaid, Tupperware, soap dish, film canister, peanut butter jar) write whatever clues I want (complex or straightforward, riddles or pictures) and I can count whatever I want, however I want. I say, do it in whatever way makes YOU happy! If you want to count your hitchhiker as a plant - do it! If you want to make a new category - do it! Just have fun! I don't believe the LBNA police are going to come and fine you for a violation ;-)MemliliP.S. Happy Mother's Day to one and all!

I count a hitchhiker as an HH in my signature line. Found one last week
(Soaring Seagull, in PA) and released it today in No. Calif. I count that as
1 HH.
