Geocache Description:

Welcome to Isengard!
Gandalf the Grey rode into Isengard, lured by a message from Saruman...

Gardens of Isengard
Once you've found the cache, look up and to the right, pass the stone walls of Isengard and make your way to the elevated area of the park. There is a small green clearing and a seat. This is spot where the Gardens of Isengard in LoTR was filmed. Here Gandalf strolled in conversation with Saruman.

Entrance to Isengard
From the Gardens of Isengard, look down to the open field below. A gravel fenced pathway was specially set up for the movie and a blue screen was also put up nearby. Gandalf rode his horse into Isengard across this lawn.

Hinged Trees of Isengard
The Orc Tree scenes were also filmed in this park.

About the cache
The cache is a camo 360ml plastic container. Please replace exactly as found, making sure it is well hidden.

The Walls of Isengard may be crumbling...
Please help restore it by putting at least one stone back in the wall. Like Cache-In Trash-Out, please promote geocaching by helping make this park better because you visited it. Thanks.

Congratulations go to brucewwnz for his first FTF and richkai and Yeetrees for second and third.
