A Letterboxing Community

Atlas Quest

What do the icons on a hitchhiker/cootie/flea represent?

Subtypes

AttributeDescription
The original box without a permanent home, hopping from box to box, hitching rides from passing letterboxers.
Why go out and find a box when you can plant one on other people? That's what a cootie is for--hiding on other letterboxers, or at least among their possessions.
Can't decide between a hitchhiker or a cootie? A flea combines the best of both worlds! Hide it in a box or on letterboxer, and you can't go wrong!

Attributes
