Geocache Description:

..."Not all those who wander are lost"...  Lots of nice looping trails in this natural area.  What is your favorite JRR Tolkien quote? 


This is one of two themed caches I am hiding along the upper west side Black Diamond Natural Area. This is off the "Hillside" trail near "Edge" trail junction.  

This one is JRR Tolkien themed due to the container.  Also nearby is my Game of Thrones themed cache just up the Hufflepuff" trail.  There are several creative caches in this area.   A visit to the beautiful clear flowing Covington Creek is always a treat for our four legged cachers.  Has a nice new bridge now. Gone is the old ladder bridge and possibly the super cool "Evil Ammo" nano cache.

Special optional request to leave a JRR Tolkien quote in your online log  :)

 

 

(Raised difficulty on this due to a couple dnf's & will add another spoiler image. Start off trail at north/right end of trailside log. after 20-30 steps the container is VERY visible on your left between fork of a fallen tree )
