I recently sent a full logbook home to Maude.

Most HHs never make it home.
A rare few keep going and going.

I've found one from 2004. It isn't listed here or LbNA and the email provided was from Hotmail. I tried to email it, but their inbox was full. The logbook was one of this mini sketchbooks and wasn't quite full, but it was a really nice carve, and I often wonder if somebody out there is waiting for it to come back home.

So HH are sent off into the Ether, to explore parts unknown, ne’er to be heard from again.

You will get updates when someone finds your HH (just like when people find a traditional plant) IF the boxer logs it.

Our 2nd find had a very intricate Yoda HH in it. We were so new, I had to look it up to know what to do with it 😂. But I was so excited just to have found something extra. I still carve a few HH along the way to pass the fun along.

At the request of the planter, I sent one home last month.
It had been out in the wild for almost 9 years.

I like to think they've stumbled upon the Doctor and are traveling through the big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff.

Oh totally, I just had one of mine logged from 1789, no doubt while storming the Bastille!

I sent one home, but most of the ones I've found still had space in their logbooks, so they continued onwards.

I figure my HHs get found just as infrequently as my boxes, so I've started making my HH logbooks with fewer spots to stamp in.
