Chuck Walla: Greetings from Geocaching.com!

Since you have not responded to my reviewer log about your cache, nor did you post a note to your cache page telling me and others of your intention to address the issue with it, the cache has been archived.

Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly. I can always unarchive the cache for you if needed.

Sincerely,

Geocache Description:

Thranduil



Thranduil, the Elvenking rules the Wood-elves who live in the northwest “forest-eaves” of Mirkwood. They capture Thorin when he interrupts their all-night feast, and the remaining Dwarves after their escape from the Spiders. The Thranduil is described as distrustful of Dwarves, based on ancient trouble between their peoples, and as having “a weakness for treasure, especially for silver and white gems”. He also wields powerful magic. After the Dwarves escape his dungeons and the king learns of their plans for the Lonely Mountain, he rightly guesses they will try to burgle the treasure.
Upon Smaug’s death, the Thranduil leads an army to claim the presumably unguarded hoard, but stops first to aid the people of Lake-town when he learns how desperate they are. With Men led by Bard, his Elves besiege the Thorin in the Lonely Mountain, though he is reluctant to actually engage the Dwarves in battle. His people fight valiantly against the Goblins in the Battle of Five Armies. After the battle, the Thranduil lays Thorin’s sword on his tomb. Bard gives him an emerald necklace, Bilbo gives him a pearl necklace.
After the battle he makes Bilbo and “Elf-friend” who more “…worthy to wear the armour of elf-princes than many that have looked more comely in it.”
 

Elves were and still are one of the wised race in Middle Earth and Arkansas. They used to know all secrets. Let’s see if you know and have been observant enough about the LOTR-land to become an Elf-Fried.
