[SNES] Jurassic Park - Route to most of the cards

[uromys]

Here's the quickest way to get most of the ID cards, and be well
on your way to finishing the game. Note that I have optimized
the path to save running back and forth between sheds.

Not included: Sattler's and Wu's cards are both on the ship.

Where I give a route through a building (such as R,F,F) I mean:

R: Go through door/corridor to right
L: Left
F: Front (straight ahead)

Enjoy!
