Update:

As promised, Gems has restarted on November 1st.  We’ll be going back to M-F every week from now on.  The series “Bag End to Rivendell” (The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien) Gem #’s 33-54 will be updated on Under 1000 Skies as soon as I have appropriate photos.  I appreciate all the photos donated for Gems, and I used as many as I could that suited the hobbit journey.  We’ll do this series again next year and by then we should be able to fill in those photos and as well as other walks through Middle Earth with appropriate photos without having to worry about copyright infringement.

Here below is an excerpt from The Journal of Samwise Gamgee, nightly notes he kept while the journey from Bag End to Rivendell.  (Based on “Flight to the Ford,” The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien and The Atlas of Middle Earth by Karen Fonstad

  • Oct. 9 – Day 17 (3rd from Weathertop): 19 miles

(298)
We’re camped now.  Today we followed a wide shallow curving valley.  Finally out of those brambles. Mr. Frodo is hanging on but he looks poorly.  His eyes are all funny and he doesn’t recognize anyone.  It’s like he’s somewhere else.

Bag End to Rivendell, Day 15 of 28

GEMS 1.32

Oct. 7 – Day 15 (1st from Weathertop): 19 miles

(7 Oct – 15th Day from the Shire – Dawn) In the night, the Nazgûl attacked. I couldn’t find Mr. Frodo, then I heard him cry out as from far away — strange words they were! Then, when he appeared, he was bad hurt! Strider fought the cursed things off. At full light, we made our way down to the Great Road. As we crossed, we heard the Riders and ran into the brambles. We camp here tonight. Strider says Mr. Frodo’s wound came from a Morgul-blade and is cursed!
