Welcome to the HGTV Green Home 2009 scavenger hunt, where we'll divulge two clues a week that'll lead you closer and closer to the location of our latest eco-friendly home.
Ready to get started?
While out on your scavenger hunt, look for this little green house:
When you see it, you'll know you've found a clue.
Speaking of clues…. Here's your first one!
Clue #1: What do all of these homes have common?
Think you know the answer? Post your guesses below and come back this Thursday for another clue to the location of HGTV Green Home 2009.
Till then, hop on over to HGTV Dream Home and vote for your favorite table setting.
Be the first to comment! Enter your comment in the form below.
I had a feeling that the clue would be posted before midnight....sneaky kwalters ;-) I have on my best scavenging outfit and when I went to the link? It said this: The content you requested cannot be found.
To find the content you're looking for, try using the search engine located at the top of the page, or try the site map below.
Anyone else have this problem?

Posted by Rachel Murillo – October 6, 2008 11:01 AM
Are the little green house icons that we are hunting for, separate than the written clues?
The only thing I know for sure is it's a Waterfront Home lol
Thanks for jump starting this Great Green Home Hunt! Let the games begin.
Thanks :)

Posted by Karen – October 6, 2008 4:44 PM
Of course it's a water view, but I don't think it's costal. Michigan was an example. Be still my beating heart. We have more spectacular waterfronts than you can imagine (unless you live in Michigan). A Green Home in Michigan....well now I'm really deamin'. Heading up to Manistee for several days to visit family and enjoy the fall colors. I will miss the blog. Keep safe everyone and thank you HGTV for another Green Home.
