Week #1: The Search Begins

Here's a clue from one of the secret sites:

In fall as blue skies were replaced with grey
and our daylength went astray,
we waved goodbye to the leaves of 2017.
The changing season will soon be seen
and longer days will bring us more green.
So follow the clues, and track the Sun,
do your best to find us, we'll all have fun!
