Annotations and Corrections

- Various mileage figures have been crossed out and corrected in red or orange ink.
- Some trail names have typed text crossed out with "ARXK" or "ARXX" visible (likely indicating superseded trail name designations).
- Column totals at the bottom of the trail list show handwritten arithmetic: 142.0 + 14 = 156.0 and 91.45 + 15 = 106.45, with a middle column total of approximately 155.51 or 158.51.
- Red-ink route lines on the map (particularly around the Mount Hood summit and certain ridgeline areas) likely denote special management or proposed routes.
