Our Story

What We Do

Meet Haley

The idea that spurred Logbook Stories was our first project, The Keweenaw Logbook Podcast. The Keweenaw Logbook was born over two cups of coffee at a cafe in Calumet. Two people with a love of the outdoors, design, and storytelling started the project and it has branched off from there. Now having evolved away from the podcast, Logbook Stories is run by Haley Goodreau. Living in the Keweenaw Peninsula, she tries to find new ways to explore the natural beauty that the area provides and loves to dive into and observe the ways that culture intersects with the natural world.

We're crafting stories to share with the Upper Peninsula community and outdoor/nature lovers. Whether you're a hardcore endurance athlete, a birdwatcher, or someone who loves to take a casual hike every once and awhile – being in nature has a way of inspiring awe. At Logbook Stories, we believe there's a fine line between roughing it in the north country and living a simple and beautiful life. We'll show you the folks that walk that line every day and share their stories with you in various creative formats.

Creating art and sharing stories in collaboration with fellow storytellers is what Haley loves to do. Building meaningful connections with the community is at the heart of her work, and Logbook Stories has been a powerful vessel for her to do just that.

Feel free to reach out to her on Instagram or LinkedIn, she loves connecting with new and like-minded people over coffee to chat about creative endeavors.

Meet Kate

If it wasn't for Kate and Haley getting coffee together in Calumet, Michigan, Logbook Stories' first project, the Keweenaw Logbook Podcast, would have never came to life. The first six episodes of the podcast were with Kate and Haley as the main hosts. Kate moved away from the area, therefore taking a step back from the project, but her vision and dedication added a dimension that can not go unmentioned.

We love you, Kate!
