Cache is an ammo can. There is more than one way to bag this cache but they all require a hike. One trail is very steep, the others are more mellow but require a longer hike. No matter which way you go expect to find some steep spots and some bushwhacking.
This is the eleventh cache in a series of caches I am loosely basing on the JRR Tolkien book "The Hobbit" AKA "There And Back Again"
Each Cache in this series will contain a clue that will be necessary to have in order to find a future cache. (designated by a multi-cache icon) It will be beneficial to write down each clue as you find the cache and keep it for future use. I hope to avoid patterns which will make future caches predictable. As all caches are found (not necessarily in order) the clues in them will ultimately lead to a final cache. Remember the placement of these caches is based on my intrepretation of the book -and having to work within the limitations and my knowledge of the local area. I will give a general clue for each cache based on the story.
Bilbo and friends have reached the Lonely Mountain and begin to look for the secret entrance described in the runes on their map.
When I was looking for an area to place this cache I read the chapter the cache is named for several times, looking for ideas...I began to realize that this couldn't be an easy cache to get to for those of us that are hobbits and/or dwarves...the Gandalfs and wizards among us might find it a lot easier.
