On a recent hike at
Brooker Creek Preserve, one of the hikers noticed a decorated rock and picked
it up. As we continued to walk, they showed it around and another hiker
mentioned that a Facebook page existed about the rocks, called New Port Richey
Rocks!
We found a few more,
and I photographed them before other members of the group retrieved them to put
in another place. Once home, I went to Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/329408174097699/?ref=group_cover.
I discovered that
artists of all kinds created these rocks and put them around the area. The sole
purpose: Create happiness and bring together New Port Richey. In the weeks
since this hike, I found other groups doing the same thing: different towns and
cities, a local hospice, and others.
I love the idea, a simple
and inexpensive way for people of all ages to exercise their creativity, and a
fun way to explore and hike to find them. I smiled, as did everyone on the
hike. It works!
