Geocache Description:

An unexpected journey

 


Farmer Maggot: [brandishing a scythe] "Hoi! You get back here! Wait till I get this through you! Get out of my fields! You'll know the devil if I catch up with you!"

Merry: "'Dunno why he is so upset. It's only a couple of carrots!" Pippin: "And some cabbages. And those few bags of potatoes that we lifted last week and, and the stuff the week before!"

Merry: "Yes Pippin! My point is, he is clearly overreactin'. Run!"

Nightfall comes. A Black Rider is patrolling the area. The hobbits hide behind the trees. Merry: "That Black Rider was looking for something… or someone. Frodo?

The Black Rider leaps from his horse. He approaches the tree root and rests his armored hand on it, hissing and sniffing.

A second Black Rider appears along their path. Frodo is delayed as the others run on. The hobbits jump over a fence and run towards the tree. One Rider is hot on Frodo's heels.

Frodo climbs up the tree. The Rider stops short of the tree and once again squeals in frustration. Looking back the hobbits see the Rider ride away, followed by two others.

Dawn to dusk only, no night caching
