Had such a great time talking to David Welch on his latest adventure out on the ice up near Grand Marais.
Ice skating + skateboarding = new adventure for Minnesotan
David Welch of Grand Marais said going against the wind is tough, but downwind is “awesome.”

no one asked but here is my take on cooperstown (or really any sports hall of fame). they are museums that have found a clever way of staying relevant by inducting new hall of famers. it gets us all riled up and spurs interest in the museum. which is fun and fine but really its just marketing.
