    Sounds like this is just up my alley since I can’t be around because of my health yet, so I am looking forward to it. So, where would I find this list?

    you have dozens of trackers on your site, and It doesn’t work most of the time.

    I spent half an hour signing up, looking for the list, going back to resign… I mean I never got to the list of 40… not even the list of 1.

  6. Bonnie Francis on April 2, 2019 at 4:35 am

    Sounds like a lot of fun!

  7. Tracy on April 2, 2019 at 3:15 am

    I think the confusion may be that it says “sign up below” and the form is actually above the post…

    • Friends of the Blue Hills on April 2, 2019 at 5:33 am

      Thank you!

  8. Misty on January 30, 2019 at 3:09 pm

    Please send me the list! This sounds so fun 😀

    • Friends of the Blue Hills on January 31, 2019 at 8:58 am

      Misty, We’re so glad you would like to participate! Just fill out the form and you’ll get an email with the list!

    Great idea to promote the reservation. I have been to just about all the locations and have pictures from most of them. Is there a restriction to using pictures from past trips or do they need to be new pictures ?

    • Friends of the Blue Hills on January 31, 2019 at 9:00 am

      Robert,

      I’m so glad you’d like to participate! We do not have any official restriction on whether it needs to be a new photo, but we really like the idea of people taking photos throughout the year for it!

      We look forward to seeing your photos!

    Please email me the list of 40! Eager to start!

    • Friends of the Blue Hills on January 29, 2019 at 1:46 am

      Just by signing up, it will be emailed automatically! We can also send it to you.

  11. John Berg on January 21, 2019 at 6:59 am

    Please send the list — I assume Dec. 31 means 2019, right?

  12. Richard on January 17, 2019 at 4:07 am

    Is Facebook the only way to participate? As someone who doesn’t do Facebook, I’m feeling ignored.

    • Friends of the Blue Hills on January 17, 2019 at 7:10 am

      Richard,

      You can also post on Instagram and Twitter… but I have a feeling that might not work for you either!

      We don’t mean to ignore you! What about your email us your photos… and would you mind us tweeting or posting some of them? That’s another way of participating!

      Thanks for writing in!

    This sounds like so much fun! Who doesn’t like a scavenger hunt? and to be outside in the woods, win win!

      • Lynn on January 2, 2019 at 8:56 am

        Looking forward to doing this with my friends! Is there a deadline for submitting the photos?

      • Friends of the Blue Hills on January 2, 2019 at 9:11 am

        Great question! You have the year to visit and post photos from the 40 places on social media with the #FBHFind40 hashtag! The deadline is December 31st at midnight.

        Thanks for the question –we’ll add that to the post!
