Hi guys - does anyone have any suggestions for Iditarod-related twitter accounts?

Here are a few:
ITC: https://twitter.com/IditarodInsider (easier than navigating their FB)

These are good:
https://twitter.com/ADNIditarod (what Mira just posted:)
https://twitter.com/IditarodKTVA
https://twitter.com/kylehopkinsAK

Have to scroll through these but they should get better once the race has begun:
https://twitter.com/dogworksradio (has good mushing info in general)
https://twitter.com/knom
https://twitter.com/Ch2KTUU

Okay, except PETA hits them a lot:

Great Eggs, thank you so much!

I started to search but I got too much of that flood of posts from p e t a so I got frustrated and stopped searching. That's a shame, since their "DOS" attack kind of works

DOS = denial of service used when someone are overloading services making them unavailable..

Snow showers forecast for Anchorage on Saturday so we may be seeing a start during snowfall.

From Media meeting yesterday:

Race director says b/c of lack of sea ice, trail between Shaktoolik and Koyuk will be moved closer to the shoreline, adding roughly 7-8 miles to trail.

At annual meeting w/ reporters + media crews, race director says there will be security cameras added to some checkpoints along the trail. “If you see something, I want you to say something,” he tells the room.

Meanwhile Kyle Hopkins tweeted: https://twitter.com/kylehopkinsAK
