Remember... Kindness Rocks!
Here are some rock hiding etiquette suggestions while you have fun creating and sharing positivity throughout your community.
First Things First, Respect!...
Ask for adult permission or assistance.
Always respect private property and never trespass.
Avoid landscaping, gardens or lawns. If you are not certain, make sure to ask for permission from the owner prior to placing them.
Place rocks in a safe place, visible to the finder. There should be no harm caused to the finder due to access. You want them to be found, but safely accessible.

Playgrounds
Sides of hiking/biking trails (not on direct path)
