Free Crazy Creek Hexagon Light Backpacking Chair Location

Crazy Creek Long Back Chair
Found by Phil at about 9:30 p.m.

Oh that was fun! Thanks Jepp!

I did have a little trouble finding the exact spot
with only the printed google map and a picture

on my new trek MTB and a bloody ankle from my
pedals.

I would have gotten it earlier, but I stopped by

Thanks!

Phil
