new pa - hitchhiker hostel

Mad Hatter's Hitchhiker Hostel, 2.5 stars
SE PA mystery box
http://www.mapsurfer.com/boxes/box52.html
I created 9 hitchhikers. I needed a place to put one of them, so
I created a hitchhiker hostel. The idea is to take a hitchhiker,
leave a hitchhiker, and write about it in the logbook (with apologies
to Dave Ulmer). If you don't have a hitchhiker to drop off, you can
still visit the box, but you're supposed to leave the HH there for
someone who can make an exchange. There are two logbooks, one for
HH stamps, and one for personal stamps.
The good news for you number folks is that you can get an F2 for
finding this, as there should always be a HH here. The bad news is
that you have to solve two sets of clues, as I have sponged off of
one of Shred's fine clues. This way, I get a P2 for writing only
one set of clues :-)
Cheers

Randy, I love this idea! People are "guaranteed" to find a hitch
hiker....but they already have to have one in their possesion...but
if they don't they can visit anyway without making an exchange...cool!
I like that it's in a mystery spot, linked to another mystery box, as
well as a themed letterbox in its' own right.
Oh just very well done indeed! Hope you don't mind if I shamelessly
plagurize it and plant one here in CT.
Thanks for a terrific and creative addition to the letterboxing world.

Well of course :) All ideas are open to reinterpretation, fusion, and
downright copying ... I think some of my experiments would play really well
in a dense area like CT ... the playing field around here is a bit big ...
I mean, I've got 9 hitchhikers to get out, I'm sure I could do that in
Mansfield in about 10 minutes :-)
... and the stamp for this box isn't too bad either, I'm committed to taking
the time to at least do decent stamps, tho not masterpieces of course, and
go back to all my old boxes and replace the lame ones. If someone wants to
replace the stamps in my Oregon boxes (which are the lamest), feel free, I'm
not sure when I'll get out there again.
Thx for your comments -- I have some other stuff in the hopper that might be
fun also ...
Cheers
PS - my first HH find was F134. Is that a record? If you plant this box
in CT, my record lives forever :-)
