Shortbottom Distillates 5th Offering to Warm Explorers Around the Globe

Doctor John Nedson Shortbottom III has again concocted an elixir that will be talked about for decades to come. His "Booby" a port cask aged amber rum should be the your choice this winter. A Hot Buttered Rum made with the Booby will keep you warm on even the coldest of expeditions.

Impromptu Visit To Western Terminus J.N.C. & Joint S.E.A. / R.E.C. Treehouse HQ!

This past weekend found Commander Youngington and Doctor Shortbottom rendezvousing at the J.N.C. docks to check in on Corps members currently conducting expeditions there.

The two were pleased to find things appearing to be in "ship shape" and running smoothly. To confirm this, they took a handful "cruises". This was when they discovered a camp had been overtaken by some primates, even overturning a vehicle! Additionally the hippos seem to have become somewhat problematic once again. But at least the fish were "biting"!

Thankfully the skilled skippers Marco, Gabriel, and Robert each piloted their vessels expertly retuning their cruises to the docks safely. Because of this, the Commander and Shortbottom awarded them each with Certificates of Adventurous Merit.

A quick check of the S.E.A. / R.E.C. Treehouse found things well stocked and in good order.

The two later paid a visit to the good trader Sam and took to satisfying their hunger and thirst!

A Resounding Success!

The Royal Exploration Corp's Search for the Lost Idol, a successful and resounding expedition this past September, culminated in the discovery of the lost idols at the Broken Compass Tiki. YES there were TWO Idols!

Guests of the R.E.C., TikiTony, and the "Compass" congregated at the well known adventurers location, over tropical drinks and grub. They came to see if the adventurous team had in fact discovered the missing idol. Everyone was relieved to learn that it had, if even at the tragic loss of their colleague Count Aldert Van Jaager. The idols were awarded to two (perhaps not) lucky adventurers that were in attendance.

View the entire exciting search below, and check back in the coming days. The Eye On The Globe will have footage of the exciting discovery of the idols at the Broken Compass.

Eye On The Globe Discovers LOST Adventureland Day '24 Footage!

The Eye has discovered, a film reel deep in the jungle. And if you don't believe it, well you are in denial. While the film was severely damaged, it now over 60 days on the banks of the elephant bathing pool, it appears to document much of the Royal Exploration Corps attendance.

There is a slight possibility a second, undamaged and complete copy made it out of the jungle. The Eye On The Globe is continuing to look for this.

Shortbottom Distillates 4th Release

Shortbottom Distillates "The Aero Squadron" Overproof Rum has made it to the TL Tiki at R.E.C. Headquarters!

As reported via radiotelegraphy and Booby messenger recently, a new libation was spotted on the J.N.C.'s docks, western terminus recently. Skippers, many of which are Royal Exploration Members themselves, indicated a dirigible appeared above the docks before the days operations got underway. One skipper said the pilot of the lighter than air craft yelled out KUNGALOOSH as they dispatched a crate of the rum. The crate, safely attached to a parachute, gently hit its mark at the edge of the docks. It appears to be no fable!

Schweitzer Falls - We'll Go Over That In A Moment

You may be familiar with Skipper Annie from her work with the Royal Exploration Corps. This past winter she bravely maneuvered a jungle skiff out of danger, a boat that contained Miss Constantine, Doctor Nedson Shortbottom and Commander Youngington, as well as several other explorers. She was immediately presented with a Certificate Of Adventurous Merit for saving the day.

Since then the Skipper has not been short of adventures. Guiding intrepid explorers not only on the waters of the jungle, but also by way of motor navigating the often frenzied streets of the nearby "Lands".

Word has made it back to R.E.C. HQ of another disaster averted by the quick, and vigorous, thinking and skills of Skipper Annie. As the noted Skipper was touring the jungle in her own craft, she came upon another vessel precariously close to the upper edge of Schweitzer Falls! The falls discovered by Dr. Albert Falls, it creates the Eighth Wonder of The World! Fearing the skiff and its passengers would "go over it", she quickly maneuvered her sturdy machine right along side of the seemingly doomed boat. Skillfully she tossed a length of rope around a tree stump onshore to secure her craft. Then jumping across to the Jungle Cruise boat now nearly teetering at the edge, she took the helm. All were saved, and if you don't believe it, well then you're in denial.

Adventureland Day '24 Debriefing

With the recent Adventureland Day firmly etched into the annals of history, an official Royal Exploration Corps debrief is customary. Along with the usual Adventurous complement, this year the Corps was elated to welcome members from its R.E.C. Aero Squadron. Several of its members, including Miss Veronica Constantine and Miss H.B. Elektra , arriving by dirigible.
 

The day began as Corps members rendezvoused in and around the J.N.C.'s Western Terminus. The early arriving attendees’ spirits were high such that no concern was tendered for the light, but noticeable, touch of precipitation falling from above. In fact, the moisture brought about conversation and reminiscence of explorations past.
 
The passing early morning hours brought with them the arrival of more Adventurers, and a sense of camaraderie began to fill the air.

R.E.C. Aero Squadron Members To Alight

The Royal Exploration Corps is elated to announce several members of the R.E.C.'s Aero Squadron will be in attendance at the upcoming Adventureland Day - Western Terminus. The Corps own dirigible will be mooring at the Mouse & Colleagues Aerodrome.

R.E.C. Members Tour Captured By Eye On The Globe

A small R.E.C. detachment recently conducted an unscheduled tour and foray in to the Lost Delta regions, captured by the Eye On The Globe.

Upon arrival, the group was delighted to discover additional members already on expedition.

With confabulation complete, the detachment turned its attention to the Jungle Navigation Company and charted a launch. They then set off on an explicatory peregrination in to the undergrowth.

Shortly after embarkation, the tour ran in to DANGER! Thankfully, at the helm of the intrepid pinnace, was the fearless Skipper Annie! With unrivaled bravery she navigated the perilous water ways and ultimately returned the Corps safely to the docks. So impressed with her vigor and stout heart, the R.E.C. members presented her with a field commendation – A Certificate of Adventurous Merit and the accompanying regalia.

Fearless Skipper Presented With Prestigious Award

Recently a small detachment of Royal Exploration Corps members were in the Lost Delta region, inspecting the joint R.E.C. / S.E.A. Treehouse, touring the Temple, and browsing the recent acquisitions of the Bazaar. Wanting to check on goings-on at the J.N.C. docks they decided it would be prudent to also take a skiff into the jungle for a relaxing cruise. As things often go, they quickly came upon the first sign of danger. Not soon after they were surrounded by dangerous hippos, ears wiggling. Thankfully Skipper Annie was at the helm and safely maneuvered away from the trouble. But danger wasn't through with them yet, piranha and even a boa constrictor had eyes on those aboard. Again, without hesitation, the levelheaded skipper saved the day and soon had everyone back at the dock.
