See what happens when you don't log in regularly. I totally missed the Fourth House Contest. Oh well, hopefully they will have another soon.

I haven't been on the computer, but I have been walking! BlingBling and I are thankfully not as worn out as, I'm sure, the Hobbits were feeling.

You have walked 359 miles.
You have reached the second camp in the Trollshaws (359). You still have 99 miles to Rivendell.

The hobbits were glad to leave the cheerless lands and the perilous Road behind them; but this new country seemed threatening and unfriendly. As they went forward the hills about them steadily rose. Here and there upon heights and ridges they caught glimpses of ancient walls of stone, and the ruins of towers: they had an ominous look. Frodo, who was not walking, had time to gaze ahead and to think. He recalled Bilbo's account of his journey and the threatening towers on the hills north of the Road, in the country near the Troll's wood where his first serious adventure had happened. Frodo guessed that they were now in the same region, and wondered if by chance they would pass near the spot.
