Bulow Creek State Park is located between Ormond Beach and Flager Beach. Trail hours are from 8am-sunset. The trails are multi-use (bikers and hikers) Dogs must be on a handheld 6' leash. Parts of the trail can be wet at times. I recommend parking here N29 23.283 W081 07.881, near the facilities. Enjoy the adventure. Congratulations Kevlinf on FTF!
Bofur, his brother Bombur, and cousin Bifur are the only dwarves in Thorin’s company who are not Longbeard dwarves of the House of Durin; although their House is unkonwn, they descend from Dwarves ruled by Durin in Moria, otherwise known as Khazad-dûm. In Bag End, Bofur asks for mince pies and and cheese and also plays a clarinet. Bofur remains with Bombur to watch the ponies when the party moves up to a narrow ledge on the Lonely Mountain, though Bofur occasionally is pulled up on ropes to join the rest of the party. When Smaug leaves the mountain, they are pulled up on ropes and make it safely into the tunnel. Gloin reports that Bofur is still living with Dain in the Lonely Mountain at the time the Fellowship of the Ring is formed in 3018. Neither Bofur’s birth or death date is known. However, given the age difference of at least 50 years between Fili and Kili and the rest of the party, his birth year is likely before about 2809.
