Geocache Description:


It's actually a tiny causeway but this cache is a big milestone for the krew. We finally have a fantasy lit reference! In J.R.R.Tolkien's world the Last Bridge carries the Great East Road over a river well outside of the Shire (well traveled parts of Lake Johnson Park). Average hobbits (hikers, joggers and bicyclists) don't leave the Shire. Heroic geocaching hobbits do.
After you find the cache you may wish to find further adventure. As a first step you must solve this riddle/pun. How do you persue the greater good? If you succeed don't let the ancient barrows on the way scare you. Pass through these old burial mounds. Dumpwights won't bother you in daylight.(Briefing here. Figure out the connection. (visit link) ) Who knows what you will find: lost roads, safe havens, dark towers, or even caches.
