Geocache Description:

This is a micro in the woods that should be a challenge to find, there is no need to leave the trail and absolutely no bush whacking. Gently lift up from the middle to remove the cache and then unscrew the lid. BYOP

LOTR title


I have created a series of caches that are based on JRR Tolkien trilogy the Lord of the rings. These caches do not have to be completed in order; however you will need to collect clues in some caches to complete other caches later in the series. There will be six sub-series of caches one for each of the original six books. I will try to incorporate an event or place from the books into each cache. You will need do research or find clues in the books. Some answers may be found in the movies. In each cache you will find a clue that you will need in order to find the final cache for each book. The final cache in each book will then provide a clue to a master cache at the end of all six series. Be sure to write down each clue. I have used three different references to collect the facts for these caches, the movies, a three book paper back set and the 50th Anniversary Edition both printed by Houghton Mifflin. Good luck and have fun working on and completing these caches.

The other caches in Book one series are:

LOTR #1 A Long-expected Party ( GCV6K4)
LOTR #2 The shadow of The Past( GCV645)
LOTR #3 Three is Company (GCV6JY)
LOTR #4 A Short Cut to Mushrooms and A Conspiracy Unmasked (GCV7WC)
LOTR #6 Tom Bombadil /The Fog on Barrow-Downs (GCV7WK)
LOTR #7 At the Sign of the Prancing Pony (GCV7WN)
LOTR #8 Strider (GCV7WQ)
LOTR #9 A Knife in the Dark (GCV7WT)

Book Two caches
LOTR 2-2 The Council Of Elrond ( GCW2CH)



The party leaves the Shire through a secret gate in the hedge separating the old forest and the shire and head for the east road and the Prancing Pony. As they travel through the forest they become lost and travel far off track eastward and end up at the Withywindle River and begin following a trail along the river. As they journey up the river sleep begins to creep over them and they lay down under a large tree along the river bank. While they sleep beneath the tree it wakes up to take revenge. Sam wakes up and stumbles away from the tree in time to see Frodo face down in the river with a branch holding him under and Merry and Pippin being pulled into the ground by the tree roots.




Hey! Come derry dol! Hop, along, my hearties!
Hobbits! Ponies all! We are fond of parties.
Now let the fun begin! Let us sing together! @ JRR Tolkien
