Day 3 (videos) - People Stories from the Beargrease Trail

Best Story Today
"Big Mike" as the Beargrease calls him talks about what he does and why he does it.  
Find out what Mike means when he says, 
"Do It for the Heart not the wallet."


Turning the Tables
Brady, an interviewer from the News Tribune talks about what makes a good story.  "You want good humans.  And they're pretty easy to find."  He also mentions sensory details essential to the story.  Thanks Brady!


The Hand Slap Photo 
Steve, a photographer from the Duluth News Tribune, talks about getting a good shot.  He also discusses one of his favorite shots, with a little bit of luck.  Talking to "strangers"  is what we do at the Beargrease and soon they become your friends.



830 Miles in 4 Days
Marking trails requires someone to place "reassurance markers" out and ensure those  markers are in place when race time arrives.  Mike and Alex Angelos (race coordinator) put in a lot of hours/miles/time to make the John Beargrease trail a good one.
