Geocache Description:

The hills of course. This seemed like the best place to start with the dwarf caches. Why Dwalin? who knows I have allways liked him. You might be able to drive to it, if you are really brave in your car, or in something a bit higher.

Dwarves live in the mountains and live in caves, mines, and other deep places. They love the search of underground wealth. So be on the lookout for their caches in rocky places. These are the favorites of the dwarves.

Dwalin was one of the twelve companions of Thorin and Bilbo on the Quest of Erebor. The son of Fundin and younger brother of Balin, Dwalin was the first Dwarf to arrive at Bag End. He wore a dark green hood and a golden belt, had a blue beard, and like his brother Balin, he played the viol. Dwalin lent a hood and cloak to Bilbo when they set out on their journey. After the events in The Hobbit, Dwalin ruled Thorin's halls in the Blue Mountains. He died in the year 91 of the Fourth Age at the age of 340, very old even for a Dwarf.

Dwarves in Tolkien are long-lived, living nearly four times the age of man (about 250 years), but are not prolific breeders, having children rarely and spaced far apart, and having few women among them. Dwarvish children are cherished by their parents, and are defended at all costs from their traditional enemies, such as Orcs. A longstanding enmity between normal Dwarves and Elves is also a staple of the racial conception.

Part of a cache series...the puzzle is in the master cache for the Dwarves. (see the linke below) In turn there will be a few series Elves, Dwarves, Humans, Hobbits and Evil. Each races cache will have a clue to unluck the "One cache to rule them all cache".

Good luck and I hope you enjoy the series.
