Subject: [Tweeters] Recommendations for Guide In Barrow

As Utqiagvik increases in common usage I will adapt. In the meantime I will
accept previous common usage without assuming anyone is intentionally
dismissing or belittling anyone else's efforts.

I can't suggest any guides in Barrow/Utqiagvik, but good luck!
