If it looks like a DUKW, Walks like a DUKW, Quacks like a DUKW

Thanks Gordon:

I am sure you are correct but it was a pure shock for me to see that many in essentially land-locked Georgia at a "State Park" as we call it here.

Now that I think about it, there was a company called South Eastern Equipment, or close to that, in southern Georgia that aquired and sold off many thousands of ex WWII US vehicles during at least the sixties/seventies and even into the eighties.
Perhaps some or all of these DUKWs came from that source.

Personally, I rode in them many times in the fifties growing up as the son of a US Marine Officer. Off the coast of California and the coast of North Carolina when they were doing training stuff.

Probably pretty calm on a lake such as where I was on Monday but I can assure you they were rough as a cob in ocean surf.

While not pure restoration projects as such, it is nice to see so many ex WWII vehicles still in productive use.
