I'm so excited. This is so much fun. Last year was my first year doing this. My partner and I had sooooo much fun! It was a great way to spend quality time together as a family. This year my mom and sister are going to search for the clues with us! I can't wait!

My friend and I started the itty bitty search last night and only found about 4 of the objects that matched the picture clues (we only covered about 8 blocks). It says above that you can see them from the outside, but does that include the outside area behind the library, or the gallivan center? Can we see all the clues just from walking on the sidewalks of Salt Lake on the main roads (100 S, 200 S, etc.)?

Accckkk! I missed Opening Day! We have been doing Itty Bitty for over 10 years. You may have seen us with our booklets and our maps...we will be there...hope to see you! As for where to see the clues, you will need to walk through places like the Gallivan Center, and go down all the little back streets, but not usually onto anyone's property or into allies. And I believe the library is out of the boundaries.

Wow!!! Its cool that this is back. We started the first night and got 10 that night and 3 last night. We work a second job and get off when the sun was starting to go down. So far we are really enjoying this one. As Veteran said above with looking, The Library is not in the boundaries, but the Gallivan Center is. Mak sure that you check every street you see. There are a few that are small and you can walk right by them.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

Well we found the last few last night and boy was it tough. The tree was the last one we found. At first my Girlfriend thought it was kind of mean to have something like that as a clue until we found it and then she understood why it was chosen. We just about turned the corner and said that looks like it and we were right!!!

It was lots of fun this time around! No missing clues either. Thanks!!!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

Done! | 10:21 p.m. Sept. 5, 2009
I must say that after doing this several years, it definitely gets easier as you become more familiar with the streets, and more aware of what to look for, so being a "veteran" probably does make a difference. However, this year the clues were definitely easier! My husband and I hardly even had to get out of the car. I'm actually kind of sad we finished so quickly, because it's so fun to head downtown frequently to find those last, most difficult clues.

This is our 2nd year and way easier that last year. We have 3 left and the tree is NOT one of them. We are heading down again today before the SL Bee's Baseball game! Family fun Labor Day. If you are still debating on trying this you can accomplish it within the last two weeks GO FOR IT!

We have all but #17 The rusted steel with cut out circles. The tree was easy to find but this one has us stumped. Any hints. We love this. Have been doing it for years!

Dear experienced -
That's the same one we're having trouble with. I'm surprised the (8687) hasn't been more difficult for people. I thought that one was hard to see!

All done and under a 1/4 tank of gas this year. Are we getting better or is the photographer slacking, hmmmmm... I am a little bummed though. What a great way to get exercise without even thinking about it. See ya'll next year :-)

No. Utah sees a major earthquake every 350 years. Last one? 350 years ago.
