Six Epic Expeditions

On November 22nd 2007 six senior members of the Explorers Club of Olde Bucks, all of them good Saturnalians, set out for parts unknown with hearts full of fullheartyness. Six separate expeditions dispersed from Bucks County with glory on every horizon.

Moses Suspenderberg, the four time recipient of the Saturnalian Cup for eternal glory, lead an envoy to make contact with the Giant Pygmies of Karu Baru.

Lord Bently Kruggerand steers his rugged brig, The Rutherford B. Hayes, into the icy antarctic Straight of Hubris.

Quentin Z. Beardmonger spirited his mule train two months through Himalayans to the basecamp at Mount Infinitude, his sherpas set for the first ever assent of its sheer peaks.

Comidore Manly Fellowcraft floats his personally designed air balloon across the Sahara to the Nabatanean ruins at Al Zoftar.

Colonel Xap Ashmeade, preeminate researcher in field of the old occidental orient at the Tweed Academy, sinks deep into the bat-thick Cambodian caverns.

And Augustus Brunton tests his cartographic mastery in the labrynthian wiles of South Philadelphia.
