The haunted graveyard is finally up! Very late this year due to contractor mayhem. In other news, my walk to Rivendell stalled when my beloved pedometer (which was a freebie from a former employer) died. I am waiting for the new one to arrive in the mail.

New walking challenge--Bree to Rivendell. Slogging through the Midgewater Marshes. Walked over six miles a day at Pennsic.

I escaped Old Man Willow and am now getting lost in the Barrow-downs. Michael spotted an owl sitting in a tree! I have heard them around here (in fact, I was convinced our yard was haunted until I found screech owl recordings on YouTube) but have never seen one before.

Yesterday I reached the next milestone in the "walking to Bree" challenge--Crickhollow. Have covered seventy-five miles as of yesterday.

To get used to walking in the heat before Pennsic, I've set myself a walking challenge. The plan is to cover the distance from Hobbiton to Bree according to Karen Fonstad's "The Atlas of Middle-earth." I am including all steps taken during the day since I cover a surprising distance just wandering around the house. According to my pedometer, today I reached the Green Hills in the Eastfarthing.
