About the Author

With their forty Alaskan Husky sled dogs, Frank Moe and his wife Sherri live near Grand Marais, Minnesota, on the North Shore of Lake Superior. When he's not training and racing, Frank and Sherri love to work in their garden, chop wood to heat their off-the-grid log cabin, or guide canoeing, sea-kayaking and rock-climbing trips on Lake Superior and in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Prior to their move to Grand Marais in 2009, Frank lived in Bemidji, Minnesota, where he taught Environmental Studies at Bemidji State University, and served in the Minnesota House of Representatives. In 2008 Frank decided not to run for re-election, and he received a Bush Fellowship to complete his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota. While writing the dissertation he began to chronicle his experiences of running his sled dog team and living in remote Northern Minnesota.
