The '''[[Jamesway hut]]''' is a portable and easy-to-assemble hut, designed for polar weather conditions. This version of the Quonset hut was created by James Manufacturing Company of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin.
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 [[Consorts of Westarctica|royal consort]], [[Prince-Consort Dinny]].


The hut became famous for providing portable warmth and shelter for the U.S. Armed Forces when the Japanese invaded the far Aleutian Islands in Alaska during World War II. More huts were manufactured in the late 1940s for use in the Korean War and many of these were later used by the U.S. [[Antarctic]] Program during the initial Operation Deep Freeze operation from 1956–1961. They remain in use up to the present day. A Jamesway hut has been cached at Camp Ohio II located at the base of [[Mims Spur]] in [[Westarctica]] since the 1960s.
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.

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. Afterward, the group was hungry and decided to dine at the adjacent Pig & Whistle restaurant where they were seated together at a large group table.
