[ARDF] maps

[Matthew Robbins]

Pete,

    I know Kansas has a bunch of orienteering maps, but I don't know
if they're near you.  QRZ says Salina, KS---Is that correct?

    I have e-mailed someone who knows about the maps in Kansas, and I
should have an answer by Thursday.  He's out of town until Wednesday.
