Walking to Rivendell: End of Week 180
Hey, lookit me! I managed to get this out on Friday, for a change.
koralleen has started off running with Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas on her trip to Minas Tirith -- lots less live Orcs to worry about this way. And soprano1 has finally entered her miles from the last ten weeks, so our average mileage is up considerably. In fact, it's catching up to me!
lonebear is very very close to reaching Isengard -- who will you travel with next, lonebear? Are you sticking with Aragorn? I won't make you do the Isengard Half a second time. :-)
We're closing in on 30,000 miles -- anybody interested in another party?
Long walkers this week include lonebear, with over a shield's worth; and tacnukesoul, edward_stanford, landkurt, and soprano1 (averaged), with over 15. Some good solid mileage in there.
Newest shields:
- 4th for Gimli 100 miles!
- 34th for giraffeaholic
- 39th for landkurt
- 66th for edward_stanford
- 109th for soprano1
- 110th for soprano1

- 112th for soprano1 2800 miles!
- 113th for soprano1
- 114th for soprano1
- 115th for soprano1
- 116th for lonebear 2900 miles!
(And by the way -- Stupid steroids. I blame ARod.)

Rivendell:
Lothlorien:
giraffeaholic (giraffeaholic): 6/395/853 [152/5.61] (It's dusk, and she's tired -- Boromir says he'll carry her)
thirdbase (thirdbase): 0/52.4/510.4 [148/3.45] (F is for Frodo, mithril shirt underneath)
Rauros:
8_legs_better (Helob): 0/284/1204 [91/13.23] (F is for Frodo, mithril shirt underneath)
landkurt (LandKurt): 16.78/57.54/977.54 [54/18.1] (Lovely day continues, though he wonders why some of his companions keep muttering about "at least there's no enemies in sight")
Isengard (Merry and Pippin's Path):
ednoria (Ednoria): 11/187/1496 [180/8.31] (Why did Celeborn warn her about Fangorn? Unless he thought she might be TALKED to death...)
Isengard (Aragorn's Path):
edward_stanford (oropher): 18/357.65/1666.65 [180/9.26] (Hot, hazy, and dark in the east -- the streams provide little amusement)
koralleen (koralleen): 9/9/1318 [180/7.32] (Chasing Orcs -- but don't worry, they'll make sure not to catch them)
lonebear (lonebear): 26.45/469.16/2912.16 [174/16.74] (He's so close to Isengard he can smell it -- or is that pipe smoke?)
Minas Tirith (Gandalf and Pippin's Path):
Minas Tirith (Aragorn's Path):
silmaril (Silmaril): 12.3/645.35/2438.35 [189/12.9] (Heading North with the fleet, rowing against the current)
Minas Tirith (Merry's Path):
slightlymadmom (Gilyan): 0/419.05/2097.05 [178/11.78] (M is for Merry, pipe smoke like a wreath)
Mordor (Frodo and Sam's Path):
kugelblitz (Balin): 6/62.01/1841.01 [179/10.28] (Dang! Still not there yet! Why couldn't he have gotten one of those new-fangled jet Eagles?)
Morannon:
Minas Tirith (Return Journey):
The Road Home: Isengard
soprano1 (Saranam): 178.1/258.66/2887.66 [180/16.04] (Passed tacnukesoul as he headed into the Fenmarch -- and fortunately she's almost out of it by now)
tacnukesoul (wil_snailfoot): 18.19/224.27/2223.27 [179/12.42] (Crossing the Mering Stream into Rohan -- WET)
Canine Contingent:
GimliBeagle (Gimli): 11/108 [50/2.16] (Sad to leave the man with the yellow boots, but what nice Downs to romp on!)
This week's totals: 301.82/28301.54
Average mileage: 23.22/178.04/2177.04 (Being carried by an Ent is a (hopefully) once-in-a-lifetime experience)
