Geocache Description:

The forest may be a bit resistent to your presence, so be sure not to disturb the Ents!


"That sent them mad. I thought that they had been really roused before; but I was wrong. I saw what it was like at last. It was staggering. They roared and boomed and trumpeted, until stones began to crack and fall at the mere noise of them. Merry and I lay on the ground and stuffed our cloaks into our ears. Round and round the rock of Orthanc the Ents went striding and storming like a howling gale, breaking pillars, hurling avalanches of boulders down the shafts, tossing up huge slabs of stone into the air like leaves. The tower was in the middle of a spinning whirlwind. I saw iron posts and blocks of masonry go rocketing up hundreds of feet, and smash against the windows of Orthanc."

This geocache is part of a new LOTR series. The final geocache in the series, "The End of the Ring", is a puzzle geocache. To find "The End of the Ring", each of the other geocaches in this series contains a piece of paper with a question about LOTR. The answer to each question is a number. The "The End of the Ring" geocache description will contain an equation to calculate the coordinates using all the numbers from the other geocaches in the series.
