Yep.....they've been there as long as I've been alive.......I was in troop 224 which was sponsored by P&P so I have an emotional attachment to the place.......last time I was in there I was buying a Yakima system for my wife's car. It was 276 dollars with tax.......I had 270cash on me and was in a big hurry to leave town. Needed the rack to put our luggage on......dude said "we'll still be here when you get the other 6 bucks". I left, called another retailer, told him what I had and he had the rack waiting for me when I got there, and installed it.........he really pissed me off. Nothing like the original owners at all......
