The hills are slowly getting closer...only 20 more miles to Weathertop. We saw no birds today, or any other animal for that matter. It's been almost eerily quiet. We had cram for dinner as we had no more fish, and Strider was unable to shoot any rabbits (or other critters). He says the Rangers sometimes store food and firewood in one of the dells by Weathertop. I sure hope so.

The hills drew nearer. They made an undulating ridge, often rising almost to a thousand feet, and here and there falling again to low clefts or passes leading into the eastern land beyond. Along the crest of the ridge the hobbits could see what looked to be the remains of green-grown walls and dikes, and in the clefts there still stood the ruins of old works of stone.
