Tuesday’s Clue: Can You Crack It?

What’s the connection between the American black bear and
the HGTV Dream Home 2010 location? Photo by chascar.
You think I’d let a day slip by without a clue? Come on!
I am thinking of a word. Starts with c and ends with r. You’ll find it somewhere in the HGTV Green Home 2009 Master Bathroom feature article. Figure it out and then tell me how it relates to the HGTV Dream Home 2010 location.


There is a Black Hills VA isn’t there?
One of the strongest clues to me is the EYES HAVE IT….because there is three eyes and 3 “i”s in Virginia…as someone pointed out.
I don’t think one of the eyes is Rep. Bobby Scott. Why would in his pics would he wear glasses but not in that one?
what about coal?
Virginia and ravioli…that seems like a stretch.
Thanks LYNN COGGIN— another Strong Clue for ( BIKE ) for Virginia!!! That’s a Really Strong Tie- In!!!!
I’m feelin’ the BLUE Ridge Mountain BLUES, until I know for sure that it’s VIRGINIA

ok…time for us all to start chanting together, “Clue, clue, clue, clue.”
Hey where is my partner in the Massachusetts arguement – Annie? After all, it was she who guessed Massachusetts first….I feel abandoned!!!
CATHY= No, not a stretch at all, this is what I found— remember that blog way back when on different house designs? And an italian villa was one of the choices???
“The website is titled, “The Italian Style in Historic Chatham, Virginia” It stated, “Following the Greek and Gothic Revivals, the Italian Style was chronologically the third Romantic architectural genre of Victorian America”. The Historic Homes in Virginia, which displayed, are inspired by an Italian- Italian Villa Theme!”
I think that this is the (RAVIOLI) clue

i do remember now Diana….and it sounds yummy! It is so hard to remember all that has been posted after all these posts. Everyone has really done some work googling.
If it is indeed an Italian style home….I would love to see Tuscany-style!

Good effort, JeanieB, though I don’t think the eye belongs to Bobby Scott, the Virginia Rep from Richmond. I enlarged the photo 300% to scan it, but I’m not convinced of a match.
Thanks for the insight into the Chickahominy tribe and “the Chick” river, Lynn. Certainly some beautiful property available around there as well, but one thing I’ve learned for sure with MARY’s clues, we can’t count our chitlins before they’re hatched!?
Bottom line: I don’t think we’re out of the woods yet—at this point, all we can do is grin and bear it.
my bad again….wrong jamestown…that one is in NY

If it is on the St. James in Virginia, this has got to be the place! Is currently under construction, March 09 club house being built, and now first home being built, can it be our Dream Home??????
Ok, my previous post regarding The Meadowville Landing on the St. James are up for moderation. Why???????
OK enough of that big, big bear— and that cracking tree stump
SWITCH OVER
ANOTHER CLUE HAS JUST ARRIVED

Yes! Ed in Oregon: You are the first to even come close to agreeing with me that it could be Utah? Salt Lake City maybe?
Maybe it is in Clearwater, Montana area.
The black bear is the state animal for New Mexico, right?
DBCoop,
The Richmond VA River Road home is nice. This community would be a great location for the 2010 Dream Home.
How did the sanding go? Just thinking about needles in your nose makes me cringe. I feel for you, but I hope everything went well.
Flathead Lake

There are black bears in California. I think that the connection to the HGTV home is Cedarpines Park, CA.
Black bears’ eyesight is very good and they can see in “COLOR”. marinemomtx

Black bear is the state animal for California.
I think the dream home 2010 is going to be in the smokey mountains.
Why are you linking us to this old blog, Is this a clue?
Why is there a link back to current DH blog on this one and not the other blog links?
I think the intended clue for 2010 was black bear and corner, as in Four Corners-New Mexico- claims the bottom east portion of that corner. IMHO. But carry on, at this point it is anyone's guess. Most don't consider this link a clue to 2011, and it likely isn't. Or is it?
I feel confused. Things point both ways….I agree with you, I guess I went wrong direction and did not read it carefully – silly me, trying to do things too fast. ooops!
Thanks for telling me this
Excellent post! I read with interest Waiting for new records
