I have created a certificate of recognition for all those who complete the Walk to Rivendell.

alaklondewen: What a great idea!! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] I like the idea of e-mailing them to us with our names already printed in. Of course, you know you'll need to do another one when we reach Mt. Doom....

What a relaxing weekend!! Goldberry and I just lazed around the campsite, chit-chatting and having a pint or two. We did take a short hike down to the river and bathed our feet in the water, but that's about it. I saw a gold ring lying on the side of the path, so I picked it up and put it in my pocket. (Don't tell Gollum!!) Only 6 more miles to go before we get to the East Road, and then it's on to Bree!! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

While they were eating Tom went up to the mound, and looked through the treasures. Most of these he made into a pile that glistened and sparkled on the grass. He bade them lie there 'free to all finders, birds, beasts, Elves or Men, and all kindly creatures'; for so the spell of the mound should be broken and scattered and no Wight ever come back to it. He chose for himself from the pile a brooch set with blue stones, many-shaded like flax-flowers or the wings of blue butterflies.
...For each of the hobbits he chose a dagger, long, leaf-shaped, and keen, of marvellous workmanship, damasked with serpent-forms in red and gold. They gleamed as he drew them from their black sheaths, wrought of some strange metal, light and strong, and set with many fiery stones.
