Hitch hikers are items in caches which are tracked over time. The first hitch hikers were objects with a logbook attached to them. Cachers would write their name in the logbook and put the item in another cache.

There are three types of hitch hikers:

  • The original hitch hikers which are simply objects with logbooks and sometimes email addresses
  • Travel bugs
  • Swaggies
