Geocache Description:

This cache is to get you up off the couch and see some of Oregon’s Forest and wildlife. Watch out for logging trucks on the road and during the winter there will be snow. This is a simple muti-cache that guarantees you find a cache in the area. Nearby is a great hiking or biking trail. Outdoor kid friendly but makes sure you know when it is hunting season. The Terrain is high due to the varying road conditions. Make sure you do a search for nearby caches before you set off.

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 #5 The Old Forest (GCV7WJ)
LOTR #6 Tom Bombadil /The Fog on Barrow-Downs (GCV7WK)
LOTR #8 Strider (GCV7WQ)
LOTR #9 A Knife in the Dark (GCV7WT)

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

It was dark by the time Frodo and his companions reach Bree and the prancing Pony. It is here that Frodo presents himself as Mr. Underhill. In the Prancing Pony Frodo tells the local Hobbits that he is writing a book about Hobbits outside the Shire as a cover story. During the evening Frodo notices a strange-looking weather-beaten man sitting in the corner watching him. Frodo inquires as who he is. Butterbur, the inn keeper tells him it is Strider one of the ranger folk from the north. Strider invites Frodo to join him and shortly after Frodo begins singing a song on a table top. He falls and the ring slips onto his finger and he disappears. Right after this happens there are tree characters that sip out the door, a Bree-lander, a squint-eyed southerner and Henry.
