    I love you so much for this thread...this is so incredibly nerdy that if I were not female, or married, I'd totally propose to you right now.

    Hey all... I have been doing this walk for a while and use the markers and milage found on the Eowyn Challenge.

    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'm so in! Only because we get told ALL THE TIME how much my husband looks like Dominic Monaghan :) I'm married to a hobbit! Or..."merried" to one, muahahahahahaha I crack myself up! But seriously! Do we have a timeline?

    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 :)
    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

    I would love to accompany you on your journey. I will have to set up a ticker just for this journey. I will use June 1 as the date I started my journey.

    May we not run into any Orks!

    Should we start climbing, or at least do the stairmaster when we get to minas morgul?

    Yes, stairs would do nicely for that! Annnnd, we have to defeat the orcs. And they are pretty much bad food choices and excuses not to exercise. Stay strong, you can beat them ;)
