Walk To Rivendell" aka "The Eowyn Challenge"

[Alatáriël Lossëhelin]

Arafangwen has only walked three more miles, but she's planning on getting a lot more miles in when she's in Alaska tommorow. See you all when I get back!

Arafangwen: Whereabouts in Alaska are you going? I went with a friend summer-before-last and had such a great time. Saw humpbacks & orcas (not orcs) on a boat trip, and grizzlies in Denali. Hope you have a wonderful trip!!

Well, Strider finally showed up. It seems he's been hanging out in Bree with some hobbits! I'm glad he caught up with me. The way the path seems to appear and disappear, I'd soon be lost without him.

The ground now became damp, and in places boggy and here and there they came upon pools, and wide stretches of reeds and rushes filled with the warbling of little hidden birds. They had to pick their way carefully to keep both dry-footed and on their proper course. At first they made fair progress, but as they went on, their passage became slower and more dangerous. The marshes were bewildering and treacherous, and there was no permanent trail even for Rangers to find through their shifting quagmires.
