Hi Jimmy,

Thank you again for the clarification on the map, I look forward to seeing the other map as well. I appreciate your help on this subject. You must have an amazing collection on the D&RG. Thanks for your time.

Best,

Ethan

We have witnessed valley
and plain and crest,
Canon and pass we've scanned;
We have seen the best
of the glorious West,
by the trail of the Rio Grande
