What exactly is a hitchhiker? I've seen the term several times and I
think it must be some object that is found in a letterbox. I'm
guessing the next person to find it is supposed to keep it and put it
in another box somewhere else. Probably has a log to see where it's
been as I think about it. Am I right? If so, I can't wait to find one!
Mark from Virginia reminded me of another thing I love about
letterboxing when he observed that in 14 years he had never been to a
nearby lighthouse and how cool it was when letterboxing took him
there. I've experienced the same thing at some places within 30
minutes of my front door that I had never been to before. It's
amazing the cool places in one's own backyard that one can miss.

Sorry to ask again, but I deep-sixed my email responses by mistake. I'm
going to be in Amherst,MA Thursday thru Tuesday next and want to go on my
first letterbox hike, if I can. Trying to get the cluses printed off
before I go. Would be delighted with some advice about getting the
clues. I did try the web site, but I could only get two letterbox clues
when I clicked on the questionmark in Mass, yet it looks like there are
maybesome close by Amherst. Thannks for your help--I'm new at this, but
you all seem to be such a great group of people and to be having alot of
fun out there with your stamsp!
