Hydros, Harleys and Hot Rods, oh my!

On the water, the vintage hydroplanes move forward fast, but their existence is steeped in the past.

Inland Northwest residents caught a glimpse of history in Coeur d’Alene this weekend at Hydros, Hot Rods and Harleys, an event sponsored by the Diamond Cup Hydromaniacs featuring vintage piston-powered hydroplanes, vintage hot rods and custom cars, and a motorcycle show. It was held in conjunction with the annual Coeur d’Alene Wooden Boat Show. Chelsea Bannach, SR
