rocks

The steps for participating in Northeast Ohio Rocks! It's essentially a painted rock treasure hunt run through a Facebook group ;). As they say in the group, "We are painters and hiders. We paint rocks and hide rocks right here in Northeast Ohio as a random act of kindness to bring a little unexpected smile to someone's day. The painters post pictures of their rocks. The finders posts pictures of their rocks. This is how we follow where the rock travels. The pictures of the painters artwork and the finders happiness inspire us to create and to share kindness. Take a look around. The smiles are contagious!"

Step 1: Go on a rock hunt while trying not to fall down a pile of rocks

Step 2: Clean rocks while trying to not get splashed

Step 3: Go to craft store to buy paint while trying to not bore PopPop

Step 4: Paint rocks while trying to avoid painting them the same color they are naturally

Step 5: Spray and seal all the rocks with a special label on the back directing them to post a photo of it online when they find it, then rehide

Step 6: Distribute the rocks in fun places and wait for them to be found and hopefully posted ;)
