Michel Delving is the Capitol, and by far the largest, city of the Shire. It’s Mathom-house is also very prominent.
You can see this Mathom-house directly from the posted coordinates. Though mathoms are only displayed here September – May, it is the busiest Mathom-house due to its use for other activities throughout the year.
A Mathom-house is a place Hobbits donate their mathoms to be put on display, similar to a museum.
Below are five of my favorite visited locations and their coordinates, by which you must obtain the final coordinates for this cache.
Good luck, and remember: Location, Location, Location.
This cache is part of CanyonJunkie's "Mathom-house" series. If you don't know what a mathom is, check out Chapter 1 in the Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien, and here, to find out.
Congratulations to TeamCJ8 on FTF!
