Geocache Description:


"You Shall Not Pass!" These were the resounding words from Gandalf as he fought the Balrog on the Bridge of Khazad Dum. Tolkien's Middle Earth is rich with imaginary characters, geography and language. This puzzle will take you through the many passes located in middle earth. Some passes only existed in the first age and as geography changed, there names changed or passed into shadow. The Lord Of The Rings wiki may assist your journey in finding what you are looking for and the coordinates to this puzzle cache.
