We set out to create a “Hobbit” themed series of caches, (because the hobby/sport just wasn’t nerdy enough – right?). This series will challenge your Geocaching stamina. The round trip is nearly 6.5 miles of paddling. You will be in and out of your vessel several times. You will encounter briars, poison ivy, stingy nettles, bugs and creepy crawly things, mud and muck, tree roots, and all the other hazards that go along with water caching. Dark places and beyond. Coordinates in creek banks can be tricky sometimes so please let us know if you encounter them to be way off. Most of the caches are in logical spots, depending on your definition of logical. Have fun, we had a great time creating this series. We paddle here at least once a season and you never know what you will encounter. There are owls where you least expect them, furry critters that swim, slide, stare at you in disbelief, bolt from you and startle you. Avian flyers of all types., and oh did we mention bugs? Sounds like the perfect Hobbit environment!
"GANDLAF"
A wise old wizard who always seems to know more than he reveals. Gandalf has a vast command of magic and tends to show up at just the moment he is needed most. Though he helps the dwarves in their quest (not least by making Bilbo go along with them), he does not seem to have any interest in their gold. He always has another purpose or plan in mind, but he rarely reveals his private thoughts.
“Some believe it is only GREAT POWER that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I have found that it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.”
