From the cleft of the Pass, Sam looks back. Hearing orcs, he puts on the Ring. When orcs reach Frodo, Sam rushes back.

    I have done the twelve bonus miles for Gollum and the five bonus miles for Sam. Frodo, Sam and I are in MORDOR!! We hear water trickling from a gully on our left.

    Still in Mordor. A ridge stands 1500 feet above the plain. The plain is crawling with enemies. We can see Mount Doom 40 miles away.

    Mile 325! We hear orc scouts and hide behind a bush. We learn news of Gollum. The light is fading as we hide.

    Mile 335. I have stepped in a stagnant pool of water that I did not see in the dark. Yuck!

    Mile 346. Had to stop and eat. It's too bad all the food that Faramir gave us is gone. It's pretty dark now so it should be safe for us to move.

    Mile 352. Still crawling along. Can't believe I've only gone six miles in three months. We have a brief halt and then another six miles to go!

    Mile 371. Everyone is tired and sleepy. There is a strong wind out of the west. Sam managed to find some water but also saw that sneaky Gollum! Everyone better be on their guard!

    Mile 380. We've been spotted by Orcs! Luckily for us, they think we're deserters and have forced us to join their march. We have to think of a way to escape and continue our journey, not to mention getting away from the smell of Orcs!!!! Phew!!!

    Mile 391. We managed to escape the Orcs. We spent a cold night in a shallow pit. It's now morning. We see nothing but ashes, and dust, and pits! We are crawling from hollow to hollow. Trying to get to the foothills to the north.

    Mile 405. We haven't seen anyone since escaping the Orcs. We've returned to the road and are headed east. We need to rest for awhile and then find some water.

    Mile 416. We've stopped and are camping a little ways off the road. We can hear troops moving during the night.

    Mile 424. We found a cistern with some muddy water in the bottom. We're so thirsty we drink it and fill our water bottles. Who knows when we'll find water again. Eat a little.
