This is the final cache in a series relating to my favorite book series, The Lord of the Rings. There are 10 caches in total, one representing each member of the fellowship, and one bonus. To find the coordinates of the cache, you must have found all of the others in this series (including the bonus cache). The way this puzzle works is:
Each of the caches, representing a character, is hidden in an area that is meant to represent a specific place on Middle Earth, that is significant to the character the cache is named for. You must figure out what these places are. On the log of each cache will be a number of blanks equal to the number of letters in the place being represented. The letters needed to solve the final puzzle will be highlighted in two colors. The letters highlighted in pink can be rearranged to make another character’s name (from the books/movies), and the letters highlighted in green can be rearranged into a different character’s name (Also from the books/movies). When the names are correctly de-scrambled, they can be placed in the blanks below, and the cipher key from the bonus cache must be used to determine the final cache’s coordinates.
N _ _° _ _ . _ _ _ (Green letters)
W _ _° _ _ . _ _ _ (Pink letters)

Difficulty rating is for the puzzle, terrain rating is for the actual cache. Final hide is a 2/4.
