   I think they're still there but they won't be for long since they're
cleaning up the place. They're located in centrl Florida. NO I can't pack
them or store them. I'm storing so much stuff for other people now that
some of my own stuff is sitting outside and getting ruined. These are big
heavy suckers so bring a truck!
