Rear Admiral '''[[Richard E. Byrd]]''' was an American naval officer who specialized in feats of exploration. Aircraft flights in which he served as a navigator and expedition leader crossed the Atlantic Ocean, a segment of the Arctic Ocean, and a segment of the [[Antarctic Plateau]]. Byrd claimed that his expeditions had been the first to reach both the North Pole and the [[South Pole]] by air.

On 10 April 2015, the day before MicroCon 2015 was scheduled to occur, President Baugh organized a group tour of Hollywood, California. The tour was led by local Los Angeles resident, Grand Duke Travis and his royal consort, Prince-Consort Dinny.

As a former professional actor and filmmaker, Grand Duke Travis was uniquely suited to lead the tour of Hollywood Boulevard. Also on the tour were King Christopher of Vikesland, Prince Arthur of Homestead, Baron Stogner, Commodore Jonathan Miller and his wife Katie Bellis Miller, in addition to President Baugh and the First Family of Molossia.

Matt Roth snapped this picture of them in the outer courtyard of the historic Egyptian Theater where Grand Duke Travis explained the history of the majestic location.
