Think of the HH as just another one of the bennies of good box maintenance!
Not only do you get to see all the log entries of those who found (and of
course LOVED) your box, but you get a little goodie for yourself too!

Speaking of, while checking our Be's Search for the Mushroom Kingdom box
(during a slightly slow Little League game -- but Be made two really slugger
hits -- go Be -- and learned to survive his first strike out of the season
:( ...) BeMa found the East Coast Clone HH!!

We were all very happy to have found her and will be depositing the HH some
where special in another east coast location soon!

Luckily, Miss Ma had handed the HH back to me before she went >splat< in the
big (I mean big) mud puddle at the bottom of the field. It was a true I
Love Lucy moment! Never a dull moment but the pearly whites still shone in
a smile through the muddy little face! Gotta love em both -- they've got
spirit (just as long as they ride their muddy selves home in Daddy's car...)

Can't do our counts yet 'cause we're too busy adding up all our exchanges
from yesterday :-)

Glad to read that the "Clone" is still traveling about. Some day I
hope that some lucky dude will be rewarded with finding the East
Coast Clone and the West Coast Clone on the same day and maybe in the
same box(that would be a hoot). What is the odds on that happening?
Sounds like you had a great kids day! Thanks for sharing.:)

Monica the hiker.
