Geocache Description:

In order for you to find this cache, you will need to do what the two Hobbits Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took attempted to do to find their way.
The cache is in an obvious place. Just make sure you are secure while accessing the cache.

Ents are a race of beings in Middle-earth who closely resemble trees.
They are similar to the talking trees in folklore around the world.
Their name is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word for giant.

The Ents are ancient shepherds of the forest and allies of the free peoples of Middle-earth during the War of the Ring. The Ent who figures most prominently is Treebeard, who (credibly) claims to be the oldest creature in Middle-earth.

At the time The Lord of the Rings takes place, there are no young Ents (Entings) because the Entwives (female Ents) were lost. The Ents are akin to Huorns, whom Treebeard describes as a transitional form of trees which become animated or, conversely, as Ents who grow more "treelike" over time.
