Gandalf vs. Sauron

[Tony Puckett]

One last thing, to make sure... and I hate to be picky about this sort of thing, but it seems like all of us Tolkeinites are picky sometimes, and I want to make sure I get this right:

I think I have made an error. Gandalf and crew went to the fortress of Barad-dur, that is what I mean when I say went right up to Sauron.

Gandalf didn't really go to Barad-dur, he only made it to the black gate, right? If you look at the maps, there is actually a lot of distance between the two. Again, I could be wrong, but let me know.
