::''Main article: Desert Homestead Province]]'' | |||
On 5 April 2009, Travis drove from his new home in Anaheim, California, to the wilds of Joshua Tree and the isolated Molossian [[Desert Homestead Province|Province of Desert Homestead]]. During his first trip to the five acre province, he conducted a survey of the land and reported on the existence and location of power and water lines connected to the property. He then built a small terrace known as "Baugh Terrace" and enjoyed a celebratory glass of champagne as the sun went down. | |||
As a result of his close proximity to Desert Homestead, President Baugh suggested that Travis' duties as Governor of New Antrim be retired along with the existence of the protectorate and he assume a new role as Governor-General of Desert Homestead. While the hot, desolate province was a dramatic change from the green forests and flowing rivers of New Antrim, Travis accepted the post and began his tenure as Governor-General. | |||
While Governor-General, Travis made his first visit to the Molossian home territory in northern Nevada on 26 April 2009. During this trip, he presented President Baugh with a framed poem he wrote (titled ''The Micronationalist'') to celebrate micronationalists. | |||
It was at this time that President Baugh pressed Travis to return to the community of micronations as a leader in his own right. The President encouraged Travis to get a surplus military uniform and possibly buy a plot of cheap land out in Joshua Tree. These persistent entreaties, as well as Travis' overall impression of the simple beauty of the Molossian home province, suitably convinced him that it was time to become a ruler once again. | |||
