I was curious to know if anyone has ever sent a hitchhiker on it's way and
gotten it back at some point. I found a HH the other day that was a couple
years old. At some point do you email the owner and ask if they want it
mailed back?
Has anyone here gotten it back and did it travel all over?? Please do tell!

A delightful hitchhiker named Old Cane came our way twice. It was like
finding an old friend when we opened the box!

I got a HH back once upon a time. Its logbook had filled up and the finder offered to mail it back to me after over 4,500 miles of travel across the country and almost 18 months. It's usually considered decorum to try to contact the placer in the case of a filled logbook to see if they would like it returned. Usually the placer's contact info (or at least their trail name) will be prominent on the HH so that this is made easier.

I just had a Hitchhiker returned to me a few days
before Christmas. There was about 12 pages in the HH.
The last page has my PO Box# for a returned address.
I put in a new larger book and sent it out again.

One year after 9-11-01 we sent out a hitch hiker "Honor Liberty". It
had a special request, and that was to post it's present location
(yep that is right, let everyone know where it was placed) and prior
to September every year we would like it returned to us. Sometimes
it took a little whinning, but we usually received it back, or
atleast the list of finders. Every year we posted the comments from
the finders on this list.
In the earlier years when there weren't as many HHers there were
races to go and retrieve. I think it has been back and forth across
the US at least twice. So if you find her it is okay to post the
location you leave her.

I have a cool hitchhiker story! On October 15, 2005 we released our
hitchhiker "Owl Be Seeing You Around" in Hocking Hills OH. We hadn't
heard anything about it, and figured it got lost. Then in September
of 2006 I received an email from Captain Jack that the Owl had landed
in his Farm box in Westfield IN. Now the concept of this box is very
cool. It's a box that represents a box and finders are encouraged to
leave farm theamed stamps in it to build up the "Farm". He had
commented on how fitting it was that an Owl landed at the farm.
Needless to say, I retired my little owl as a hitchhiker and he's now
taking up permanent residence at the farm catching snakes and mice.
Captain Jack sent the log book back to me, and included all the farm
stamps in it. The stamps are just beautiful! I've included the link
to the box.

How clever! All the creative ways people do letterboxes continues to amaze me.
