LOTR title

I have created a series of caches that are based on JRR Tolkien trilogy the Lord of the rings. These caches do not have to be completed in order; however you will need to collect clues in some caches to complete other caches later in the series. There will be six sub-series of caches one for each of the original six books. I will try to incorporate an event or place from the books into each cache. You will need do research or find clues in the books. Some answers may be found in the movies. In each cache you will find a clue that you will need in order to find the final cache for each book. The final cache in each book will then provide a clue to a master cache at the end of all six series. Be sure to write down each clue. I have used three different references to collect the facts for these caches, the movies, a three book paper back set and the 50th Anniversary Edition both printed by Houghton Mifflin. Good luck and have fun working on and completing these caches.

The other caches in Book one series are:

LOTR #2 The shadow of The Past (GCV645)
LOTR #3 Three is Company (GCV6JY)
LOTR #4 A Short Cut to Mushrooms and A Conspiracy (GCV7WC)
LOTR #5 The Old Forest (GCV7WJ)
LOTR #6 Tom Bombadil /The Fog on Barrow-Downs (GCV7WK)
LOTR #7 At the Sign of the Prancing Pony (GCV7WN)
LOTR #8 Strider (GCV7WQ)
LOTR #9 A Knife in the Dark (GCV7WT)

Book Two caches
LOTR 2-2 The Council Of Elrond ( GCW2CH)

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.© JRR Tolkien

The long expected party is where we are introduced to Frodo Baggins. Bilbo is throwing a birthday party and has invited most of the shire. It is here where Bilbo Has an ANNOUNCEMENT - This is the end. I am going. I am leaving. Now GOOD-BYE! @JRR Tolkien. And he slips on the ring and disappears.

To find this cache you will need the answers to these questions:

What year was Bilbo born in? = A
What year was Frodo born in? = B

complete the following equation.

North = 45 34.607+ A
West = 122 47.605+ B - 100

Checksum = 76
