This is for all you who love letterboxing. For this swap you will create a hitchhiker letterbox and send it to your partner.

This swap is only open to people in the letterboxing community who have an account on atlasquest.com and you must have at least 3 finds listed in your atlasquest profile. Please message me after signing up with your trailname.

Ok so here is what you do.

Create a stamp and record book for a hitchhiker Add your letterbox to Atlas Quest as a Hitchhiker Send the hitchhiker to your swap partner

When you receive the Hitchhiker from your swap partner stamp it in your log book and record it as a find. When recording it as a find you will enter your city and state but you can leave the box found in spot empty since you did not find it in a box. Then place into the next letterbox you visit.

For more information on creating a hitchhiker and hitchhiker Etiquette go to this web page.... http://www.letterboxing.info/articles/00000011.php

If you are interested in learning about letterboxing check out letterboxing.org or atlasquest.com. Remember the sign up by date is July 31 so, if you are new to letterboxing you could find 3 boxes by then you can sign up. It is easy to do 3 boxes in one day if you live in a populated area.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I just registered!!! Would someone do a beginner swap??? This could be soooo much fun!!! There are a ton in my area.... I'm going to prepare and then try to find one... gotta make my stamps first and get my materials!!! Is there a group for this?

I had so much fun letterboxing last summer. Forgot all about it until saw this swap posted. Not sure I remember my passwords for the sites I was on.

On the watchlist.

I had never heard of this before! I just registered and hopefully I can join if you do another swap :)

I'm holding on to 2 hitchhikers I found up in my area. Can I send those two??

beachchicken 06/30/2009 #

Polymath, that would be great if you wanted to send those two too or instead of making one. If this swap goes well I will do another one later.

I cannot join this swap because I don't have 3 finds under my belt yet... but I just wanted to say that I'd be willing to do this swap in the future! Thank you for making this swap and introducing my husband and I to the wonderful hobby of letterboxing. :)

I couldn't find a group for this, so I created one! Come join! :)
