Walk To Rivendell" aka "The Eowyn Challenge"

[Alatáriël Lossëhelin]

Ala, that was beautiful....made me cry like the movie. Congrats on reaching Mordor and finally "throwing in the ring"!

Many congratulations to Alatariel! Praise her with great praise! Now, let's have an Eagle in there to get her out before Orodruin blows! I've really enjoyed your closely written narratives, Alatariel; you must really have walked in two worlds down there in "Moria!" That's as Elvish as it gets, if you take my meaning!

Ala, we really do need to find those Eagles to save you. That was truly a lovely post.

Anorial, Lyta & Nurumaiel: Many thanks for all your kind words (and especially for sending Gandalf with the Eagles to pick us up)!! Without the inspiration of all my fellow walkers (and Frodo and Sam), I would never even have made it out of the Shire, much less reached the end of the journey!

"End? The journey doesn't end here."

I still have to make sure that the hobbits return safely to the Shire (and that Frodo gets on that ship with me). Hopefully, there will be a bit more joy and less danger on the journey home.

I'm considering walking at night again, except for the fact that a VERY LARGE animal tore up part of a building that is about 250 yards from where I live, and I'm still not sure if it was a mad coyote or even a bear! (One can only hope it would be more Beorn-like... It had very large paws, not unlike a very large dog, and it must have very large teeth.

Lyta, be careful!! Sounds like you might have an orc there in your neck of the woods...or possibly even an Uruk-hai! Make sure you take Aragorn and Boromir out walking with you for protection. Those boys can whup anything!!
