Interesting question. Giant potato path? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Seriously, I think Sam would have either died in the attempt, or tried to use the Ring and have been overwhelmed by it's power. Frodo needed Sam and Sam needed Frodo. Neither of them could have done it alone. For me, that was one of the main messages of the book.
Both of those hobbits had a special kind of grace about them, but they both would hav e failed if they hadn't the support of someone they loved.
