Maps - Maps - Maps
The family of Dr. John Cook has donated to CMC the large number of maps, guidebooks and other items he had gathered over many years of hiking in this area. They are available to club members but need to be sorted. If you are interested in these maps and books, call me so you can come to my house to sort them.
