Hiya, Campers! Pete Pioneer checking in on the first leg of my journey, and boy do I wish I had longer pants on my legs! This year, I'm attempting to break as many world records as I can, and will take pictures of myself doing them, armed with just my Camp Harmony (or Ugga Bugga) shirt and my trusty sandwich board to prove that I was there! For my first world record attempt, I was joined on effort by our own Jerry Director! We decided to aim high...literally! We climbed to the top of Mount Everest--the highest mountain range on Earth! Mt. Everest is 29,029 feet above sea level, and is part of the Himilaya mountain range, located on the border between Sagarmatha Zone, Nepal, and Tibet, China! This picture of us is from the summit--or the highest point--on the mountain. The air is thin up there and it is very cold, so we had to rely on our Ugga Bugga's to keep the sun out and keep us warm! Check back next month for my next world record attempt! - Pete |

Happy Halloween, Campers!
In
honor of the scariest day of the year, I decided to make my
second World Record attempt “The World’s Spookiest Ugga
Bugga!” I traveled to
See
you next month as I continue to break records!

Hi, Campers!
I’m continuing my ongoing quest to break as many world’s records as
possible. And I’ve got to tell you, it really stinks! Not my mission,
but this month’s world’s record! I decided to perform the World’s
Smelliest Ugga Bugga! I traveled to London, England to visit the Royal
Botanic Gardens, where they have a specimen of Titan Arum—also known as
the “corpse flower”—which is the world’s stinkiest plant! The titan arum
grows only in the wild in the equatorial rainforests of Sumatra,
Indonesia. When the flower blooms, it smells like rotting meat! It was
so bad that I had to wear a mask on my face to cover my nose! Once
again, I invited other Lifers to join me in trying to break this record,
but they all claimed to be too busy to make the trip. Maybe they just
didn’t want to be around the smell?!? Well, now that I did my Ugga Bugga,
I am going to take about six showers and bathe in tomato juice…then I’ll
continue my journey to break more world’s records!
See you next
month!

Brrr….campers! Last month I
said that I wanted to try someplace cool, but this is ridiculous!!! This
month, Nicole Assistant Director and I took our record-breaking Ugga
Bugga tour to the site of the longest night in the world: The North
Pole! We decided to see just how powerful our Ugga Bugga’s would be…but
the sun didn’t come out. But that’s not our fault. From September 21 to
March 18, the sun does not shine in the North Pole, because it is
constantly below the horizon. It’s a great way to catch-up on some
sleep, but it gets awfully cold and dark! It’s a good thing we brought
glow-in-the-dark markers for our sign! Just for fun, we might sneak back
up on March 19 and do an Ugga Bugga…it will guarantee six months of
sunny days!
Stay cool!

Hi there, Campers!
Pete Pioneer here, continuing my global trek and setting world
records for Ugga Bugga’s! This month, I traveled to the Land of
the Nile: Egypt! I journeyed to the Valley of the Kings, which
is the location of many Pharaoh’ tombs. The tomb walls are
covered in hieroglyphs, which were a writing system used by the
ancient Egyptions, consisting of pictures for words. And during
my explorations, I found evidence of the oldest Ugga Bugga in
history! Look at the wall behind me, and look at where the arrow
is pointing! That is obviously a picture of the Pharaoh doing an
Ugga Bugga to keep the rain away. It must have worked, too,
because this area of Egypt is mostly desert! I decided to do my
best impression of the Pharaoh, so I did my Ugga Bugga right
next to his, before leaving to go break my next world record!
See you next time!

Hi, Campers! As everybody knows, “Ugga Bugga” is
one of the easiest words to say. But what happens when you try to say it
at the place in the world with the longest name? Well, I’m always up for
a challenge, so I traveled to
Taumatawhakatangihangak-oauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupo-kaiwhenuakitanatahu,
in New Zealand this month to try!
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturip-ukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu
is the name for a 1,000
See you next time!

The World's Funniest
Ugga Bugga!
Yuk yuk yuk, Campers! This is Pete Pioneer checking in with a report of my monthly world-record-setting Ugga Bugga journey! I’m not saying “yuck” because I ate something bad…I’m saying “yuk” because I’m trying to make people laugh! This month, I joined the circus (just like I did twice before) to make the World’s Funniest Ugga Bugga! The first circus was founded in Ancient Rome and featured many different animals. In the 18th Century, circuses became very popular and more like the current versions, featuring acrobats, trained animals, trapeze acts, tightrope walkers, jugglers, unicyclists, and of course clowns! During the show, I did lots of funny things, like getting a pie in the face and honking my big red nose. I was known as “Ugga Bugga the Clown”, and got the entire audience to do one big Ugga Bugga! Some of them laughed so hard at my act they asked me to stay. But I had to get back on the road! Only one more record to break before the summer!
Have fun!
- Pete
(special thanks to
Daniel K for helping to arrange this month’s world record!)
