He delivered to Governor Dayton over 12,000 petitions from Minnesotans opposed to sulfide mining in the Lake Superior watershed and very close to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. His successful trip—through challenging weather, trail and road conditions—brought to the attention of many Minnesotans the real risks that both Lake Superior and the Boundary Waters face from the proposed copper\/nickel sulfide mines. Getting his sled dog team to the Capitol was so much more than that epic eight-day trip. It was in fact the culminating adventure of a much longer journey for Frank and his incredible dog team. The book 'Sled Dogs to Saint Paul' is the story of Frank’s discovery of dog sledding, and how the dogs came to be the focus of his life.
