That was also the probable means of Lórien elves to rendezvous with any men of Gondor they would speak with, but I know of no evidence Thranduil's elves from Mirkwood ever did the same. Anborn's words about the black squirrels were probably just from folklore he had heard. Quote:
The last instance of ships from Gondor going to Mithlond that I know of was in the year 1975 of the Third Age, when Eärnur brought the army that defeated the Witch-king. I think Gondor became entirely engrossed in their own affairs after that, and would have seen no profit in such a journey. Círdan, too, would have had no call that I know of that would bring his ships to Pelargir. He and his people were pretty well confined to Mithlond and Lindon by that point. I get the impression Galdor's trip to Rivendell was a rare event.

Nice points by Mouth and Inzil !
OK so, some sort of contact is going on between men of Gondor and the elves. I'd think that this was much in the same sort of way that Bilbo kept in contact with the elves. Private meetings by night out in the countryside. I have a feeling that the elves do sometimes like to wander the hills and woods, and are sometimes, like Haldir, sent to gain information. However they don't appear to make themselves publicly known in Gondor and Rohan, so avoid towns and cities, and of course can travel inconspicuously in their grey cloaks! I think that there must have been some few Gondorians and perhaps Rohanites ![]()
