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.0
-
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.0
-
I am now in Lothlorien...will be heading toward Rauros.
I cannot believe you are in MORDOR. You Rock!0 -
Mile 325! We hear orc scouts and hide behind a bush. We learn news of Gollum. The light is fading as we hide.0
-
Mile 331...we are continuing in the dark along the eastern edge of the valley. Will our journey ever end??0
-
Mile 335. I have stepped in a stagnant pool of water that I did not see in the dark. Yuck!0
-
Mile 344. I'm sleepy, so I'm going to hide for awhile.0
-
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.0
-
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!0
-
Mile 358. We're taking another brief stop to rest before continuing the journey.0
-
Mile 364. The ring is becoming such a burden for Frodo that we have to stop for a another short rest.0
-
How exciting, you are getting SO close!0
-
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!0
-
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!!!0
-
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.0
-
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.0
-
Mile 416. We've stopped and are camping a little ways off the road. We can hear troops moving during the night.0
-
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.0
-
Jaessa! You are making great progress.0
-
We cheer you on!

Mile 431. We're camping for the night. I keep hearing horses galloping by. They must be delivering messages. Thanks for all the support, Eldee and Byrdiebee!0
-
Mile 438. We have to stop and eat. Mount Doom is to the south. We are leaving the road and heading towards it! (shudder)0
-
Mile 446. It's dawn, but the light is dim. We've gotten rid of everything we don't think we're going to need and make Frodo's load lighter as the ring has become such a burden for him.0
-
Mile 456. Frodo was moving faster than we hoped, but the extra effort has taken a toll and he has no strength left. Sam can't sleep and the ground keeps trembling.0
-
Mile 469.5. Frodo has entered the Door to the Sammath Naur! Half a mile more and the ring will be DESTROYED!0
-
Mile 470. Had to walk the extra half mile today to destroy the ring! Will be working on my escape miles next!0
-
WOO HOO!!!!! You did it!! You made it all the way there!!!!!
I am so excited!0 -
Congrats Jaessa!! Great job having the willpower to destroy the One Ring! :drinker:0
-
I am still flying with the eagles on my way back to the Morannon. We've gone 37 miles. Have 61 miles to go. It's so peaceful I think I'll take a nap!0
-
Eagle flight sounds fun! Keep up the good walking!0
