For each challenge, your team MUST hashtag not only the challenge name, but also "EcoHunt 07" and your team name. For example, to complete the "Hike to the Wind Caves" challenge, you must post a picture with the Wind Caves in the background and your Blue Goes Green bag clearly displayed, and add #EcoHunt07, #yourteamname and #WindCaves. It is STRONGLY recommended that you print out this instructions/challenges packet and mark down which challenges your team has completed, as you complete them. It is also recommended that you keep backup photos of all completed challenges.
