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

Took my sister in law from California to Stone Mountain Park in Atlanta today. Amongst other attractions are a boat tour of the man made lake that was built from a dammed up creek in the area.

Saw what I thought was a DUKW and took a quick pic and when we took the tour bus around the complex, found a parking lot with two more.

In all I took three pics but must wait until sister in law returns home and gets them printed off (cheapo throw away camera).

Got to talk to the driver of one for like 2 minutes and she said that there are close to two dozen DUKWs in operation in the US Southeast at various resorts/parks etc.

The one she was driving had a very healthy sounding V8 motor so obviously was re-motored at some point.

I did not explore the site, but if you want to check it out, it is as follows for what I guess is a franchise operation operating DUKWs at several such venues in the US.
