OzGuff: With only four finds in four years, and NONE since September 2007, I have decided to convert this cache to a traditional. Thanks to all who took the effort!

Geocache Description:

Take a hike on the Laurel Mountain Trail in Pisgah National Forest

This is the third in a series of three caches all related to The Lord of the Rings. If you use the listed coordinates to park your car the total hike and/or bike for all three will be about seven miles. (And if you add Flatpick's A Three Hour Walk for a Sign Only Cache! cache to your itinerary you are talking almost 10 miles round-trip!)

The actual coordinates for the cache are:

N 35° 2 A . BC 5
W 82° 4 D . EF 2

A = The Grey Havens MINUS The Ride of the Rohirrim
B = Minas Tirith PLUS The Tower of Cirith Ungol
C = Mount Doom PLUS The Muster of Rohan
D = The Steward and the King MINUS The Siege of Gondor
E = The Pyre of Denethor PLUS The Land of Shadow
F = The Last Debate MINUS Many Partings

CHECKSUM: A + B + C + D + E + F = XY; X + Y = 7

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

You are looking for a small Lock&Lock container hidden not far off of the trail. Enjoy the trail!
