Default Alaska Convoy?

Does anyone know anything about some sort of convoy up the Alcan highway in 2011 or 2012? I had someone ask me if I knew anything about it, and I don't. He said he heard it from several other folks that one was being planned. If you know anything about this, I would be interested in maybe going.

We are heading up in 2012, with the MVPA to commemorate the building of the Alcan Highway in 1942. 70 years ago. The east coast supplied most of the GIs to build it, so we are sending all the guys we can to salute it. JT out

I checked the MVPA website (mvpa.org) and came up with no listing for this event. Is there anything you can share in print?
