In One Ear: ‘Magical and misty’
Published 10:13 pm Thursday, April 3, 2025
Both Instagram (23,000-plus likes) and Facebook (31,000-plus likes), as of Tuesday, are abuzz about Saturday’s posts by Joshua Gates, star of Discovery‘s “Expedition Unknown.”
In case you don’t know the show, here’s the official description: “Intrigued by legendary mysteries and driven by curiosity, Josh Gates is on a mission for answers. ‘Expedition Unknown’ chronicles his global adventures as he investigates iconic unsolved events, lost cities, buried treasures and other puzzling stories.”
And now to the social media post — accompanied by photos of Haystack Rock and the Goonie’s treasure coin — that is causing such a fuss:
“Astoria and Cannon Beach, Oregon,” Gates wrote. “I’ve wanted to explore here since I first saw Mikey, Mouth, Chunk and Data go search for One-Eyed Willie’s rich stuff to save the Goondocks. It’s just as magical and misty as I always imagined. So stay tuned, because this is our time! Goonies never say die!”
Hopefully, the mysterious reason for his visit (perhaps the legendary lost treasure of Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain?) will soon be revealed. Stay tuned, indeed. (Photo: Discovery/Expedition Unknown)
