Hi there!
I, too, read the article in Family Fun Magazine and my kids (8 & 10)
and I are already hooked! We haven't carved our own stamps yet, but
have already found 4 letterboxes in our Chicago area! Already LB
words have crept into our vocabulary and the kids are trying to think
of good spots to place their own boxes.
Question: Are HHs obvious?? We found a box yesterday that had an
extra stamp in it, but there was nothing with it to describe it as a
HH and it did not have its own notebook. At first, due to its small
size, we thought it was a piece that separated from the main stamp,
but when examined, it appeared to be its own stamp. We didn't know if
it was a HH or not so we left it there. The kids wanted me to post
this question because the thought of leaving a HH behind is
absolutely horrifying to them! They want to go back and get it if it
is.

Welcome, letterboxers3!
You are correct in assumng that there'd normally be some indication
if a second stamp like this was a hitchhiker. Usually, it would have
a name somewhere on it (xxx Hitchhiker), be in a separate baggie or
container of some type, and would have its own log book -- not
necessarily a large one, maybe even just a folded piece of paper.
Hopefully, there'd also be a brief instruction explaining that the
hitchhiker should travel from box to box.
