[NMCCSC] Obtaining CC Ski maps at Tijeras Ranger Station

[Bet Gendron]

Guys, you can get those maps online-
https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/cibola/maps-pubs

I got them by going in the lobby and connecting via QR Code scanner.  But
anyway, they are on the website!

Sam just sent out his own map of the Sam/Kerry trail.  see my notes after
his in the last few minutes.   bet
