Distant Haystack Rock

The shore is a mesmerizing sight with its dark lines of black sand… er, stuff. In the distance, the iconic Haystack Rock (image) juts out of the water like a giant sentinel guarding the coast. This is the same location where the classic movie “The Goonies” was filmed, adding to the allure and mystique of the place. The crashing waves and cool ocean breeze create a sense of peace and tranquility.

On This Day In History

2022: Ah, yes, the good ol’ days of stompin’ through the desert, oglin’ at those ancient petroglyphs. Talk about a blast from the past! Reminds me of that one time my cousin Vinny thought he could do a better job than the Native artists. Let’s just say his “masterpiece” looked more like a kindergartner’s finger-paintin’ gone awry.

2016: Now, there’s a tale that’ll have you rollin’ on the floor laughin’! Overpackin’ for a measly 35-miler like it was an expedition to the North Pole. Meanwhile, my pal Mo was light as a feather, zoomin’ past me and snaggin’ herself a podium finish. I tell ya, I’ve never heard the end of that one!

2012: Ah, the good ol’ days of soul-searchin’ and goal-settin’. Who’d have thought this old dog would one day be chasin’ after fat bikes and multi-day stage races? But I s’pose that’s just how the cookie crumbles, ain’t it? Gotta keep chuggin’ along, like that little engine that could.

2011: Hot diggity dog, now that was a race to remember! Hairpin turns, heart rates through the roof, and a loose handlebar throwin’ a wrench into the whole shebang. Talk about a nail-biter! I swear, I aged about ten years in that single race.

2010: Would you just look at that meadow? Prettier than a picture, I tell ya. Reminds me of that one time I was out hikin’ with my buddy Jimmy, and we darn near stumbled right into a moose’s backyard. Let’s just say we high-tailed it outta there faster than a jackrabbit on a hot tin roof!

2009: Ah, the joys of battlin’ the dreaded sniffles. It’s like a war zone up in here, with tissues flyin’ every which way and chaos reignin’ supreme. But hey, at least that AI-generated image of impending doom gave me a good chuckle. Gotta find the humor where you can, right?

2008: Speakin’ of good chuckles, how about that Marcy? Cutest darn thing this side of the Mississippi, I tell ya. Nothin’ beats a lazy day off from trainin’, just kickin’ back and hittin’ the trails with your favorite four-legged pal. ‘Course, that Lolo Pass Ride was looming on the horizon, so it was back to the grindstone soon enough.

2006: Now, here’s a doozy for ya! A good ol’ fashioned snowpocalypse, barrelin’ down on us like a freight train. But hey, at least we got to soak up some of that glorious sunshine while it lasted, right? And with friends comin’ to visit, well, that’s just the cherry on top of the sundae!

2006 (again): Ah, yes, the age-old conundrum of privacy versus accessibility. Gotta love those brain-scratchin’ ideas that really get the ol’ noggin churnin’. Course, knowin’ me, I probably got about three sentences in before my mind started wanderin’ off to more pressin’ matters… like what I was gonna have for lunch that day.
