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!

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
