Building on the unplanned success of 2022’s event, even less planning was done for our 2023 event and the result was even greater success. Our only planned activity was to participate in a small town parade. The parade was canceled over fear of Canadian wildfire smoke (it barely materialized). With no fixed plans, we were free to create an epic road adventure on the fly, enjoy a nostalgic return to the hallowed Campbell, have a very special visit with Trimpin in his studio, take an enlightening tour of the Tieton Cabin Company, marvel at Mexican dancing horses, sip a pop-up evening at the Bar Torino and rage late nights at the BRDC.

The weekend was dominated by the rising Edwardians — finding our future in the past. Five of the magnificent old timers were present.
