March 8th and 9th

Getting back on track!  And look at that-- I'm over halfway to Rivendell!  I can almost taste the lembas!  ;o)  (True Tolkien-obsessed fans are probably disappointed by that silly joke.  Lembas is what elves eat when they journey, but I honestly can't recall if they also ate it when "at home"-- or if we ever learned much at all about what else they do eat...)

Reached foot of the Weather Hills and camped there.  Now following path south toward Weathertop...
