			Well, I would say that I have beheld the Misty Mountain (ie. the Canadian Rockies) from my front yard.  I know what the wide flatlands of Rohan look like (the natural flat grasslands of the prairie).  I have beheld the mostly barren, but with scattered trees and shrubs and hills, and altogether unpopulated Eriador (Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, where the prairie and forest meet in a rather bumpy terrain).  I feel like I have walked in the Woody End (anywhere up in the Parkland band of forest.  Elk Island Nat. Park springs to mind).  I have walked in the pine-forest of Dorthonion, tracking the footsteps of Barahir and his men (lodgepole pine forest, either in Cypress Hills or Waterton Nat. Park).  I have gone down the River Running in a canoe (Red Deer River).
 Yes, I have seen Middle-earth.
