Well, 60 years is the amount of time Bilbo spent at Bag End after *his* quest. (Age 51 to 111). It's the only other 60 year stretch I know of. There's Bungo and Belladonna, of course, but not sure if the date of the completion of Bag End is recorded. Bungo built it for his wife, partly with her money, but how long it took and how long they lived there I don't know. I don't think the dates of Bungo's or Belladonna's deaths are recorded.
Hmmm.
Last Trip to Rivendell from the Shire?
Bilbo is 60 years older than the previous time. Frodo is 50 (60 - 10) and it proves to be his *only* trip to Rivendell from the Shire. Rivendell *is* Frodo's destination when he first sets out.
