This cache has been archived.

dmnelson23: They are currently dismantling Mount Doom itself, which is good for the economy, but bad for this cache placement. It is time to go...she had a good run. Thanks to all who hunted it.

Geocache Description:

You are seeking a small rubbermaid type container, large enough to hold most Trackable Items. The container is hidden in a typical fashion.

DO NOT APPROACH THIS CACHE LOCATION FROM ROUTE 6! SIMPLY ENTER THE INCOMPLETE SUBDIVISION DIRECTLY W OF GZ AND YOU CAN DRIVE TO WITHIN 40-50 FEET OF THE CACHE.



Orodruin, or Mount Doom, is a fictional volcano in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth universe. Located in the heart of the black land of Mordor and approximately 4,500 feet (1.4 km) high, it is the site where the One Ring was originally forged by the Dark Lord Sauron and represents the endpoint of Frodo Baggins's quest to destroy the Ring which is recounted in The Lord of the Rings. Orodruin is Sindarin for "fiery mountain". The Sindarin equivalent of the name Mount Doom is Amon Amarth, meaning "mountain of fate".

The cache you seek is in a location nowhere near as dangerous as the Mount Doom depicted by Tolkein, however if The LOTR films were filmed in Minooka, IL, then they would have needed to use this area for the Mount Doom long shots.

Have fun, and Stay Safe!
