Congratulations, Linnamalle!! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] (I knew you could! I knew you could!) Be sure to visit the hot spring while you're there...fabulous for relaxing and easing sore & tired muscles.

______________________________

We trudged along in the dark again last night. The wind has died down somewhat, so it was actually quite pleasant walking in the moonlight...except for all that dwarvish racket! Huffing and puffing (and grumbling and dratting)--most annoying. We were able to reach the 500 mile point before stopping this morning.

--------------------

The Company took little gear of war, for their hope was in secrecy not in battle. Aragorn had Andúril but no other weapon...Boromir had a long sword, in fashion like Andúril but of less lineage, and he bore also a shield and his war-horn...Gimli the dwarf alone wore openly a short shirt of steel-rings, for dwarves make light of burdens; and in his belt was a broad-bladed axe. Legolas had a bow and a quiver, and at his belt a long white knife. The younger hobbits wore the swords that they had taken from the barrow; but Frodo took only Sting; and his mail-coat, as Bilbo wished, remained hidden. Gandalf bore his staff, but girt at his side was the elven-sword Glamdring, the mate of Orcrist that lay now upon the breast of Thorin under the Lonely Mountain.
