[pct-l] Quick question..

[eyakel at earthlink.net (Eric Yakel)]

I took mine into the store with me and told them tough when they wanted me
to leave it outside.  The reason I took it in, because the year before I
watched as a guy in a pick-up grabbed two packs threw them in the back and
took off never to be seen again.  Took him about 5 seconds.  Ruined the trip
for a couple of JMT hikers.  P.S.  After I told the store owners I was going
to spend about a hundred bucks, they saw it my way.
                           Eric
