Team H (Long Island Letterboxing)

With the site being temporarily out of order yesterday and today, I figure I'll send this post
and hope a Team H member finds this.

Someone left a film canister with a purchased stamp in the spot where I have had a
letterbox hidden for two years. I'm not sure if this canister is meant to be a hitch hiker or
something to take the place of my box while it had been removed for a short period of
time.

See, I check all of my boxes regularly and recently a deer carcass was in the way of getting
to the box. Rather than have boxers step over this decomposing deer, I removed the box
temporarily and noted it's temporary removal on LB.org and AQ.com.. Yesterday I received
an email telling me that all that was left were several bones. So I returned the box to it's
location and found the canister.

Team H had stamped onto a mini journal inside the canister. I'm not even sure if Team H
placed this here. I would like to see if this is meant to be a hitch hiker, I will return and
place it inside my box and note that it is a HH. Otherwise, right now, it is alongside my
letterbox. The canister does not have a "name" and lacks letterboxing qualities. It could
be a geocache, but it also lacks certain tell tale signs of a geo.
