Local boy gearing up to swim DUKW to Portland MVPA

[quarkz]

I thought that all of you DUKW enthusiasts would enjoy watching this video the local news station recorded about John Ingleke, who is planning on swimming his DUKW down the Columbia river to the national MVPA rally in Portland this year.

In the most recent MVPA magazine, Steve Preston, mentions all of the DUKW related activities he is trying to weave into this years national convention, where activities straddle the mighty Columbia river.

Papabear will surely enjoy the fine footage of the DUKW crashing into the water at the bottom of the boat ramp.

All I can say/hope is "SOMEDAY". Enjoy.

Time to bump this. Convention is 25 - 27 at the Portland Expo Center. We moved in 9 vehicles today, including one M18 Tank Destroyer and an M3 Stuart. There are over 175 vehicles registered for this event. Plus over a couple hundred sales tables. See you there.

Very cool. I wish I could make a trip like that.

Next years is Indiana and it sounds like they have some neat things planned for that.
