I have an idea. An idea that has been done several times before, I'm sure. But I don't care, because it sounds fun. I'm walking from The Shire to Mordor, just because it sounds cool :) and dude, it is like 1100 miles, 1560 if you go the way Frodo and Sam went. That's a pretty dang good workout, I'd say! I just wanted to let you guys know, so you can join me or make fun of me or whatever. Feel free to add me :D and join me in my journey if you'd like :)

    Love it! If I was more skilled with graphics that would make a fantastic progress bar. If I count the last couple of days I think I'd be somewhere near the Prancing Pony.

    Hey all... I have been doing this walk for a while and use the markers and milage found on the Eowyn Challenge.
    http://home.insightbb.com/~eowynchallenge/Walk/walk.html

    I would love to share this trip with others. I am 73.6 miles into it and have finished Day 3, making it to Crickhollow.

    I love it! I'm in.

    But I gotta say when I first read this I couldn't help but think of this video: Lord of Rings: How it should have ended: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yqVD0swvWU
