Colorado Springs group paints, hides rocks in COVID-friendly way of connecting with others COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- It's an activity that's socially distanced, active, and creative. “I just like to paint intuitively, I’m not artistic at all," says Kelsey Kovalik. Kelsey is self-employed and a mother. When the pandemic struck, she looked for ways to keep herself and her kids busy. Naturally, they went outside -- and it was during their hikes they discovered what she calls, little treasures... Painted rocks. Kelsey is a member of the Facebook group, "719 Rocks." The page has been inactive since 2017, but Kelsey says that hasn't stopped people from painting and hiding rocks around the city -- bringing joy to those who find them.
