HH:Outstanding hitcher transplants

In keeping with our motto, 'keep them moving', we just had to send
congratulations to Butterfly and Angel on the speediest hitcher
transplant yet! Seems they found the Celtic Minature HH on May 16 at
Gorge Cascade and dropped it off just minutes later up the trail at
the Cascades! Special commendation to Bill Haalck for his same day
(Feb 19) find and transplant of that same hitcher. Way to go guys!
With the relatively few hitchers we've had the pleasure of finding
lately (still less than 4% of our total) it does our hearts good to
see such active sharing and to know that the poor things aren't being
tossed or forgotten in some cold obscure corner. I've been worried
about some of them that we haven't heard from in months, like Ghoti or
the Walkabout, or in some cases even over a year, like Firebolt or the
Exeter Vampire, even though we know that they have been picked up from
where we left them off.
Anyway, as one of the several people inquiring recently about our
hitcher web page so nicely put it - it's like these hitcher that have
passed through our lives have now come in a way to belong to all of
us, and not just to their originators anymore. Only one person has
requested that their hitchers be omitted from the list, but if anyone
else wants "theirs" removed let us know. Otherwise our hitcher web
page is still accessible to all those who belong to the travellers
group via the Bookmark Option. Anyone else who enjoys following
hitchers just send us personal e-mail, and we will be glad to give you
the address. Updates and corrections are always appreciated.
Wanda and Pete
PS: Also want to report that Phoenix and Seal With A Kiss were found
not too long ago at our boxes by a new person whose only comment was
"No Pen", but who will hopefully know what to do with the hitchers.
And, for those who haven't heard, FlutterBy flitted off from the CT
Gathering with Moonstone_Baby. Happy journeys to all!

HI Wanda and Pete
Thanks for the congratulations you sent to Us about quickly moving the
HH Celtic Miniature , I must admit that I wanted to keep it to digest
the lovely things that others had written, but it is so tiny and my back
back it so very messy, that I feared it would be quickly lost.!! And at
my age I sometimes have a 'senior moment' and feared I might forget the
dear little thing. !! Hitch hikers are great fun and I try to always
report on them in this way and did not know there was another 'page' out
there. Please would you send me the address ? And if anyone is still
reading this, where oh where is my one and only H.H. 'Surprise It's Me '
?? I last heard that it was in Ma. somewhere.
Have fun everyone and butterfly wishes to you all.
Butterfly aka Nancy

Flutterby has fluttered on ... I got an email this morning from the
person I sent it to saying she had stamped in, showed it off, and
sent it on its way.....
