The info on my hitchhikers tells both placer and finder to ensure that the LB it resides is/is dropped off in places that stamp in it.

*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* Hi all, Newbie here.

Found a hitch hiker my first day, second box. I'm such a newbie,
that when I found the HHiker I shoved it in my pack. I figured all
that needed to be done should be done elsewhere. Like I should try
to keep it a big secret. So I drove a mile away (couldn't take it
anymore), opened it up and saw that it said to put the LBox stamp in
the HHiker log. So went back to LBox. Now with further
thought/research I realize I need to put the HHiker stamp in the LBox
log. It's quite a public place too and I'll be on my third visit to
the Lbox. Feel like I need a flowchart to remember all the steps ;)

I have a question about the next step, regarding who should do the
exchange of stamps, the dropper offer or the picker uper? I'm the
3rd to receive the HHiker and noone has put the stamps from the
LBox's in there, (not even the creator). They've only put their
personal stamps in there.

A FAQ said that the one who drops off the HH should do the exchange
but my HHiker says who finds it should do the exchange. Also should
I put my stamp in the LBox log on the SAME page as the HHiker stamp,
showing I found it? Likewise, do I put my stamp along with the LBox
stamp on the SAME page in the HHiker log showing I found it at ----- ?

It's very addictive and time consuming to start this LBoxing project
up. Between researching clues, FAQs, listserv posts and making
materials.

Today we found Paddle to the Sea, N. Windham, CT. Should of taken
1/2 hour but totting little ones around took 1 and 1/2 hours.
