REPORT OF OUTING COMMITTEE UPON OUTING OF 1911 
When the Outing Committee as at present constituted took charge 
in the early spring of this year, the task set before them was such 
as to make them consider whether a less ambitious trip should not be 
undertaken. The vlan of the trip, however, had already been an- 
nounced and so it had to be put through. 
The party started numbering sixty-six, but the illness of one com- 
pelled two to turn back after the third day, leaving sixty-four mem- 
bers who completed the trip. This number, with three cooks and six 
packers, made a total party of seventy-three. Of the sixty-four mem- 
bers who completed the trip, thirty-six were women and twenty-eight 
were men, while thirty-six had not been on any previous Mountaineer 
summer outing. 
The trip as nearly as can be computed covered a circuit of 483 
miles, of which 266 were by railroad, 55 by boat and 162 were on foot. 
Of the 162 miles walked, 33 were over wagon roads, 76 were over good 
trails and 53 miles were over Indian trails, animal trails and no trail 
at all. While we were following the 53 miles of poor trail and no 
trail, we crossed the summit of the Cascades nine times and followed 
the summit itself for considerable distances on two occasions. Dur- 
ing the trip the party climbed in the aggregate over 20,000 feet. 
The party was in camp 21 nights in 16 different camps, six of 
which were in the upper meadow country in close proximity to snow. 
Upon only one occasion, the day of the climb of Mt. Adams, was the 
party after daylight in reaching camp, and there was no occasion 
when any part of the commissary or dunnage was after sunset in be- 
ing delivered at camp. 
We had no accidents of any kind and but two cases of illness. The 
only serious illness was that of one of our packers, Mr. Paul Kuhn- 
hausen. We are glad to anounce that Mr. Kuhnhausen has recently 
reported that he has recovered from his illness. 
In the matter of the finances of the trip, the amount received from 
the members of the outing, less amounts refunded to them for various
