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?
Janet,
That’s wonderful that you’d like to participate. You already signed up on the form above, so you should have received an email with the list. We’ll go ahead and send you another one. Let us know if you receive it!
We would Love a list . My Furry Friend and I have Great times in the Blue Hills
Steve,
So awesome that you’d like the list! Hopefully, you received it in the mail. We’ll send another, in case the first one didn’t go through. Let us know when you receive it!
Thank
You for
All your wonderful efforts to keep the hills alive
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.
Sounds like a lot of fun!
I think the confusion may be that it says “sign up below” and the form is actually above the post…
Thank you!
Please send me the list! This sounds so fun 😀
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 ?
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!
Judy
Please email me the list of 40! Eager to start!
Just by signing up, it will be emailed automatically! We can also send it to you.
Please send the list — I assume Dec. 31 means 2019, right?
Is Facebook the only way to participate? As someone who doesn’t do Facebook, I’m feeling ignored.
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!
Judy
Please send me a checklist for #FBHfind40
We emailed it to you. Let us know if you didn’t receive it!
This sounds like so much fun! Who doesn’t like a scavenger hunt? and to be outside in the woods, win win!
So glad you like it! We look forward to seeing your photos!
Looking forward to doing this with my friends! Is there a deadline for submitting the photos?
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!
And thanks for stopping by!
