elsee Sellers voluntarily devotes hours each week to a labor of love, a “snake” that delights rather than bites. He’s known as Rockwell because he’s made of rocks and he’s only right by the Porter Rockwell Trail. $ He’s snaking his way along the abandoned train tracks, starting near where Draper’s well-known zebra 50 count box! or 3 resides, all the way toward Draper for Park.

It was really popular during Covid that people would paint rocks and hide them in plain sight. My daughter was overjoyed when she found a spotted rock, then she started painting rocks and hiding them all over. She thought it was the funniest thing when people found them, or sometimes she’d get too excited and randomly hand them to somebody,” Kelsee said.

In early June, Kelsee’s mom showed Libby a rock snake that she’d found on Facebook. “Libby thought it was super cool since we’d done the kindness rocks so she said, ‘Let’s do this!’ When my daughter gets an idea in her head, there’s just no stopping her.
