I have a HH with apparently no owner. There contact info is bad and they aren't mebers on AQ and I don't see them anywhere else. The log pages are full and I'm not sure just what to do with it. It is not a traditional style logbook but is just some special printed paper folded up. Do I add more paper and send it on even though it has no owner or way of being tracked???

I agree-send it on as any other HH even if you cannot get in touch with the owner. There is a HH yahoo group. If you haven't already tried, you might try to see if you can contact the owner that way too.....

Have you checked on Wanda and Pete's HH page. It might be listed there.

I only log on here two or three times a week. I hope nothing of mine gets declared orphaned based on missing a post on the wrong day.

The Unluckyletterboxers are from my part of the world. Their participation has ebbed and flowed over time. I just sent them an email letting them know of this discussion. I sent them a link to one of your LbNA letterboxes, so they might use that contact the placer link to reach you. Or they might join here. Or I might be relaying stuff.

If you don't hear from them, then the advice to put an extra sheet of paper and send it on its way seems best. I recall that they did a decent job on stamps and I'm sure that others will enjoy finding it, regardless of its trackability.

Leap Year was on Wanda and Pete's list with its movements reported through Red's Bunch's discovery in May 2005. Where has this HH been since then?

Hawkeye,

When I couldn't find the owners (and this being our first HH), we just decided to keep it going. I didn't think to use the community to find the owners or add new pages, so kudos to you for trying. We just found some blank space and added the stamps.

We found it at Sope Creek (Marietta, GA) and left it in Woodstock GA since we weren't heading out of state anytime soon.

You'd have to not log in for an entire year before any of your boxes get orphaned. And you'll get a warning e-mail about a month before that happens to give you a chance to do something about it. Logging in two or three times a week won't even get you on a finger wagging list. =)

Well, on a good day I can pat my head and rub my belly while chewing gum and walking at the same time. Top that, if you dare!!!
