____________________________ While walking through the Downs today, who should Goldberry and I see but The Barrow Wight! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] He was sitting in a lounge chair just outside the door to his house, with a large pitcher of lemonade on the table beside him. We stopped and chatted for a bit, and he invited us to stay for dinner. However, we decided not to push our luck and headed on down the path. We'll make camp when we get closer to the East Road. -------------------- Then their hearts rose, for it seemed plain that they had come further already than they had expected. Certainly the distances had now all become hazy and deceptive, but there could be no doubt that the Downs were coming to an end. A long valley lay below them winding away northwards, until it came to an opening between two steep shoulders. Beyond, there seemed to be no more hills. Due north they faintly glimpsed a long dark line. "That is a line of trees," said Merry, "and that must mark the Road. All along it for many leagues east of the Bridge there are trees growing. Some say they were planted in the old days." "Splendid!" said Frodo. "If we make as good going this afternoon as we have done this morning, we shall have left the Downs before the Sun sets and be jogging on in search of a camping place."
