“In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit. Not a nasty,
dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell,
nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on
or to eat: it was a Hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."
Opening line from “The Hobbit” by J. R. R. Tolkien.
The most “famous-ist” of Hobbit-holes was called Bag End. It was
built by Bilbo Baggins' father, Bungo in 2880, Third Age. It was
left to Bilbo and later was inherited by his nephew Frodo and
eventually Samwise Gamgee.
Like most Hobbit-holes, Bag End was comfortable and throughout
the years Bilbo (and later on Frodo) would sit with Gandalf, puff
on pipeweed and blow smoke rings.
Bag End had many rooms with tunnels connecting the many parts of
the residence. It was in these small rooms that Shire residents
believed Bilbo stored his hidden treasure, which he had received
from the Dwarves after defeating Smaug the Dragon.
This cache is located close to my personal Bag End… a place I go
sometimes to sit in comfort with friends and just blow smoke. The
coordinates will bring you accurately to the cache location, but
you must think like a Hobbit.
Be warned! The cache itself is watched by Saruman and he will
cause your “Palantir” or seeing-stone to be struck blind and become
totally useless…until your next adventure. You have been
warned!
Cache is large enough to handle smaller trade items and small
travel bugs. The location is suitable for all ages, but most of the
starting items are meant for adults.
This is #2 in the Texas Dreamweaver Middle Earth series of
caches. Enjoy!
Congratulations to CHANCE ENCOUNTER for FTF!
