Out of Dodge

2016 Out West, Montana, Road Trip


Due to the long running radio then television series Gunsmokewe are all familiar, or at least those of a certain age, with variations of the command uttered to villians to “Get out of Dodge.”  In Virginia City a committee of vigilantes organized to maintain law and order in this outpost of civilization. Wrong doers who found the numbers 3-7-77 painted on their cabin or tent knew that they had best leave town immediately or face swift and terrible justice. In our case, we haven’t been asked to leave but rather know that it’s time to move on to new adventures. But first a stop at the Nevada City Saloon for “one for the road”- coffee, that is!

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
