Or physics stops a boulder before it crushes your house and you get really lucky. There were two, one crushed the barn.

There was way more than two. Unless the 1/4 car size ones don't count in addition to the 2 huge and one super huge one.

Them little 4-5 foot one with enough inertia though.. ;) Especially a few concentrated into one spot.
But imagine coming home to that. Where the fook is my barn? ;) Awesome though, thought I'd post.
Started out February with a 40 miler today.
Eric, look at that GPS spike on my Strava ride today.
Wonder what the 1.7 mile spike did to my average for the return...

Not a spike. It was a drop out of the signal. Strava just guessed the route as the crow flys.
Where do you have the receiver and what is the area like? Tall buildings can give it a fit. I rarely ever have GPS issues with my iphone or handhelds in my area.

Open mostly with no buildings really. But I did put the phone in my front shell pocket on the return and maybe when I went to the drops my body blocked it.
I usually have it in my middle rear, but for some reason stuck it up front...

This photo's even more revealing
The boulder that took out the barn was considerably larger than the one that nearly hit the house. However, There's a
much
larger boulder that's apparently been there for quite a while. One word comes to mind...
MOVE!

Roll your own
Given the size of those boulders one can only reach the conclusion that the gods must be angry. Holy sheit!

I've been ice climbing on "Willey's Slide"...
...several times, but never had any idea where the name came from. It's nice to have the historical perspective, even if it's a tragic one.
