Re: Hitchhikers (long sigh)
I used to long to find hitchhikers and then last spring I found tons
of them! I was sick of them. The lazy man's letterbox I started
calling them. No tupperware, just a stamp and a book. aaaaargh. I
had a half a dozen of the things and i had to find places to leave
them...letterboxes that were big enough to hold a hitchhiker.
aaaaaargh. now it has been a month and i haven't found a
hitchhiker...I think I am in withdraw...I need a hitchhiker. I NEED
to find a hitchhiker!

RE: [LbNA] Re: Hitchhikers (long sigh)
for my HH. Wow I feel a bit like Capt. Ahab in search of the Great White
Whale!
Here's an ethical Q. If I were checking on one of boxes and there was a HH
there can I take it. In my opinion I think it should be left for the next
hunter but was wondering what everyone else thought. This has not happened
but you never know and it would be my luck!!!

I'd found, so I took it and placed in another box I'd placed in another
park...I didn't give it a second thought!

Re: [LbNA] Hitchhikers (long sigh)
i was just wondering how HH were tallied in the little
count after our names... is it a seperate HH#? but ok.
my personal thought was that when the person creates
it and plops it into someone elses box, it is a plant.
anyone who finds it for the fIrst time, it is a find.
(if it pops up a second time, go ahead and re-mark it
in your book with the date and location, but dont
count it, and consider it a blessing from the lbna
dieties)
and as for counting it as a plant when you MOVE it, i
dont think so. it was meant to move, it is a
hitchhiker, you have the option of, out of the
goodness of your heart to give it a lift or spray
puddle water on it as you speed past. (my thoughts on
HH's are to move 'em, thats what they are there for,
and if you put 'em in a box with little traffic, hype
that box up to others....)
and i need to go out and plant some more sedentary
types when the (much needed) rain stops.
fun boxing to all,

Re: [LbNA] Hitchhikers (long sigh)
I agree pretty much with Short Spike. What I do is count a hitchhiker as a find however I find it. If I find it again I don't count it again main reason being I already have that stamp recorded. If I find one in one of my own boxes I count it as a find and I do move them. I take them home for at least a day and check the hitchhikers book against the record on Pete and Wanda's HH Progress page, and report to them any omissions I find. then usually rehide the HH in another of my boxes but don't ever count moving a HH as a plant. To plant a box, you basically have to make the box. I count the Hitchhikers as a regular find count them once no matter how many times it may show up and never count one as a plant. I also count an event stamp as a find. I know some count them seperately as an event. My records are simple. Plants, Finds, Exchanges. Thats it. Very black and white. Remember this is supposed to be fun. If someone does it a bit different it doesn't really hurt anyone or take away from your adventures. I like the hiking and exploring the most and since discovering letterboxing, it only added another aspect to it. I guess to each his own.....Chuck & Molly P38 F174 X43

Re: Hitchhikers (long sigh)
in honor of Labor Day, release the "Peter J. McGuire" traveling
letterbox. This very special box may have a special twist--we'll post
more about this soon.
Like the Juliette Low HH, who, in the 90th year of Girl Scouting, has
travelled cross-country, we're hoping Peter McGuire will also travel
as much in letterboxing as he did in life, beginning on this, the
120th Labor Day (in the United States).
