Sprilander HH Hostel (record your find)
Placed on 9/19/04 in Medina, NY (Orleans County)
The Sprilander HH Hostel is an equal opportunity hostel and letterbox with its own personal stamp. We accept all types of HHs, including postal, but make sure we know if you want it to STAY postal or to be put in the hostel for mainstream letterboxing. If you TAKE a hitchhiker, please remember to LEAVE on behind so that everyone has a chance to find something!
Find your way into the heart of city of Medina, where Main (Route 63) crosses over Center Street. Once there, turn left (west) onto Center Street. Keep going past several streets on Center until you find a street name that suggests sand, waves and sunshine. Turn right and park at the dead end as far left and down as you can without getting on the grass. Right in front of your bumper in the underbrush hides the Sprilander. (NOTE: Since the underbrush loses its leaves during the late fall and winter months, try parking to the RIGHT and looking under the evergreen right next to your car on the right if there isn’t enough foliage to hide the box on your left)
This is a pretty quiet little area and definitely residential, so try not to look TOO shifty while stamping and do NOT freely wander the grassy areas around you. No matter how much they look like park lands, they're actually people's lawns! The park bench is available for your use, however…enjoy!
While you're in town, why not check for the Medina Water Sprite, Choo Choo Ch’Boogie, or the Letterbook?
Personal Travelers
The "Boo" Box (record your find)
This box is a personal traveler that follows the Sprite around. It was originally created on 9/22/04 for her students from a stamp the I.A.P. made for fun one day. It was retired in Summer of 2005, but you can still log your finds from before then at Atlas Quest.
M and M (record your find)
M & M doesn't stand for the candy, it stands for Might & Magic (which works pretty well for a guy in a kilt and his little winged sidekick!). Tell us what M & M stands for and we'll share this personal traveler with you!
I Like the Sprite In You! (record your find)
This one ws a gift from the Sprite's friend Flutter Bye. To get it, just tell the Sprite "You know what Sprite is MADE of, don't you?" She won't be happy about it, but you'll get the stamp! ;-)
Hitchhikers
Fire Sprite--Last saw her on 9/6/04 burning up the trail with the Tonawanda Widgeon. Pass her on and let us know when you find her...she's a hot little thing! (wow, was THAT ever a lame joke!)
Highland Fling--Flung him out on 9/4/04 with one of the Highlander's favorite fowl, the Iroquois Goose. We found him again on 9/18/04 at BOND-ing Time and flung him back out (if they don't pay the rent, out they GO!). Let us know where he lands!
Sprite for President—Made on 9/27/04 for the Sprite’s 35th birthday, this HH launched her campaign with Ms. Dragonfli at the Mansfield Monster Mash in CT. It was last seen with Jordan and Hiking Moon, so get on the bandwagon and Vote YES for Sprite!
PACE Yourself—Is currently keeping pace with Ramdelt in a PLB in Colorado...no idea where it'll land next!
Three-Eyed Cat—Found this kooky store near our home whose name suggested it was something far more interesting than it really turned out to be. So, we decided to make it have at least SOME claim to fame. It’s currently bouncing around boxes in Ohio
LCSD Mascot Hitchhiker Series
We placed a bunch of these mascots for my district at the WNY Gathering on Nov. 13th. They are Lockport City School District (LCSD), Anna Merritt Eagles, Dewitt Clinton Eagles, Charles Upson Bulldogs, Roy B. Kelley Cougars, George Southard Lions, Washington Hunt Huskies and the John Pound Puppies (seriously!). They started floating about in the Thankful boxes, so contact both us and Pete & Wanda if you’ve seen them!
Anna Merritt Eagles—Picked up by Clan Jiggs at Hot Baths ( a Something I’m Thankful For box from the WNY Gathering)…is probably making the rounds in the Canadian hinterlands by now!
Charles Upson Bulldogs—Picked up by the DeMoss Family in If Only For a Moment on April 26, 2005...might still by in Western NY area
Dewitt Clinton Eagles—Making the rounds in the Treasure Chest PLB as of February 2005
George Southard Lions—Took a trip south and ended up with Orlando Knit Wit somewhere in the Disney resort area...
John Pound Puppies— Has not been seen since the WNY Gathering on November 13th of 2005
Washington Hunt Huskies—Last seen in Fairfield, CT in Art Around the Lake #1
Roy B. Kelley Cougars— Has not been seen since the WNY Gathering on November 13th of 2005
Lockport City School District (LCSD)—Reacquired from God’s Creation Chasers on 2/4/2005 and retired as an HH…reincarnated as a traditional box (see clues here)
Postal Letterboxes
KCSB…the PLB! (record your find)
We created a KC and the Sunshine Band Postal Letterbox to join the Disco Fever PLB ring. Not sure if you can still join it, but once the stamp returns, we might try letting it boogie on down your way!
101 Things to Do/Not Do at a Gathering PLB Ring
This ring (our first) began in October 2005 and was only for those with great gathering proverbs/stories that deserve a stamp, like "Never try to get your husband to stop the truck by showing a little leg when an older couple is coming up the other way!" Our personal addition was Always Read the Clues. Although you can no longer join the original ring, if you'd like to add box/story, contact us and we'll get you started!
Note: In a PLB ring, everyone makes their own stamp and sends it to others in the ring.
