    8.05 miles for Saturday and Sunday...

    We reached Bag End with a large party of hobbits. Frodo confronted Saruman. Wormtongue slays Saruman, and is killed by hobbits.

    BUT...I want to see Lonely Mountain, so I must travel back to Rivendell then on to Lonely Mountain.

    1.55 miles...left Bag End and head south down the lane toward Hobbiton. Take bridge across the Water; turn east on the road to Bywater.
