Time to test your observation skills!
Find as many items as possible on this list. Don’t try taking pics from inside a car — that’s boring and the photos probably won’t be good. The first person to find the most objects wins!
HOW THIS WORKS
Gather up what you need: charged phone/camera, notebook, pen, water, sunscreen/hat- Go take a walk down streets in Hartford. Pics must be (1) from within city limits, and (2) not taken in any of the major parks (Bushnell, Colt, Goodwin, Keney, Pope, or Riverside).
- Find one item matching each clue
- Take a pic
- Note the address or coordinates of the object’s location (From years of doing the Place This Place series, I strongly advise writing down the location. Unless you have a spectacular memory, you’ll probably forget one or two by the time you get back home)
- By 6 AM on Monday, July 6, send me an email (realhartford@gmail.com) with all items and their locations or post them on Instagram and tag #CampRealHartford

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
The winner(s) will get their names announced and they will get bragging rights.
Those who don’t win will still have their object photos added to a map of Hartford’s Delights (this is why listing the location is important!). By submitting pics, you are consenting to their being added to the map.
