It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door!

Here is the (rather impressive) list of hobbits.

I am reminded of a custom we have in my old town: teeming hordes, some dressed as minutemen and some playing fifes and drums, retrace the 7-mile route of a certain revolutionary hero who died first in the war.

But here, instead of The Isaac Davis Trail, we (playing Pennywhistles to the tune of Concerning Hobbits, and humming The Road Goes Ever On and On) march our furryfooted progress along The Frodo Baggins ReMarch. Our re-enactment spans not hours but months-- and timezones, too.

It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door! We are, indeed, being swept off to we know not-quite-where.

(edit: for the list of walkers please check the opening post.)
