Radagast's Whereabouts and Gandalf's Plan...

Blue Wizards? Oh heck no. If he wanted to look for the Blue Wizards, he would have done it a LONG time ago.

and I am also quite sure that he did not aid Saruman (willingly, that is). -Lord of Angmar

That's what I implied. That Saruman sent a group of uruks to go get Radagast. Or maybe he invited him over(Radagast still trusting him) How would Saruman control the beasts? Does his voice apply to the crebain and wargs? I would figure it wouldn't as they most probably can't understand any humanoid tongue. Radagast, could speak, and most probably master all beasts and birds, I'm too lazy to look up the quote...

But I could have sworn that I read that Gandalf checked out's Raddie's house and it said it looked as though it had been left in a hurry and there was no sign of Radagast.

Lord Angmar, as to Radagast sailing to the West, I don't think so. I think he preffered his household, and conferring with the birds and beasts of Middle-Earth. I'm sure he was quite happy in his little outpost in Rhovannion. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

I too believe that Gandalf would not have accompanied the hobbits all the way to Orodruin, nor do I believe any member of any other race would have done so.

You don't think anyone would have travelled with them from another race? I seriously doubt that Aragorn would just say "Well, good luck Frodo" and walk west to Minas Tirith. He would have stayed with them to the end. Im also not sure about Legolas and Gimli just skipping out, although their homes WERE fairly near, they always seemed the staying types. Legolas, being of "pure" heritage and noble heart.As to Gimli, I don't think he would try to take the ring, too soon. It'd probably "GIVE ME THE MITHRIL COAT, FRODO!" [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]:

Couldn't a scout of the eagles been flying near Isengard(to keep an eye on them) and seen Gandalf and told Gwaihir? Or maybe even the great eagle himself was there, I don't think Saruman had archers that could shoot THAT high [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Hmm.. I think I'm rambling....
