Not everything needs to be logged online. I am sure the creator is happy to have heard of the HH's travels.

A lot of people make HHs, and then later forget or just don't bother, to create listings for them. I used to email the owners, but now I don't bother.

if you were a premium member, you could log unlisted boxes, otherwise you can wait for Hat Day, which occurs a few times a year, and list it. Hat Day is a day when the theme changes to all hats on your screen. It is a freebie, everyone can log unlisted finds, day.

What does it mean to log an unlisted box? Why are some unlisted? Does it mean listed for premium members only?

What does it mean to log an unlisted box?

That just means to type in the info for a box that you've found. The name, the find date, etc. If you are a premium member, you can do this any time. If not, you can do this on Hat Day.

Why are some unlisted?

Some folks only put their clues on LbNA or on another site, (so it is "unlisted" on AQ) and some people don't bother to list them at all - mostly this is the case with HHs.

You're most welcome to look at my logbook. I logged in a HH It Only Takes A Spark that started out in the early 2000's, and was not listed on either LbNA or AQ, but on an old website. I also logged in some boxes only listed on LbNA - Laguna 1 for example. These boxes show up as a different color.

Hope this helps!

If I'm remembering correctly....There are some boxes and HH that are not listed on AQ. They may only be listed on LbNA, or someone may have there own letterboxing page with clues ment for a certain group. I know the Girl Scoutsl have some.

When you find these boxes or HH, you can also log them in on AQ. To do this right away you need to be a Premium Member. If your not, you can wait till Hat Day, which is in May (I think), and also in Dec. on the 26th I know for sure!

There will be hats all over the board for the theme!

You can look in my logbook and see the boxes listed in black. Those are the unlisted boxes I have found.

Thanks. I see 5 or 6 in your log that look different, or rather blank.

Don't worry about it, not everything needs to be logged online. It was in good hands and was moved along, and that is what really matters in the end.

Go to: http://www.atlasquest.com/boxes/

type Perry in the name line and change the box type to HH/cootie/flea

you should get:
search results

The third one is Perry the Playtpus HH. See if it matches the previous finders and locations in the logbook of the one you found
