You have to give Kid2323 some credit for originality and creativity.

What I was thinking, this is really a tangent, was perhaps the Hobbits in Bree and the Shire aren't the only Hobbits in existence. The Stoors (Gollum's folk) were originally on the Anduin, near the entwives, and it stands to reason they had some truck such orderly, peaceful.. er..trees. Since Gollum's ancestoral folk are long gone as are the Entwives, since all the lands to the West were well explored, it stands to reason that out East was the direction the Entwives went, and likely some of the Stoors went with them, or at least in the same general direction. Since Hobbits are of the the same kindred as Men, and Men originally came from the east, no doubt Hobbits did as well. There could be whole, comfortable, unknown (and as usual, overlooked) settlements of Stoors and perhaps even Fallohidish Hobbits.

So the secret of the Entwives is with the Hobbits. Just not in the Shire.
