You have walked 135.10 miles.
You have passed the Barrow-Downs (132).
It is 8.90000000000001 miles to the next landmark.
You still have 322.9 miles to Rivendell.

They heard of the Great Barrows, and the green mounds, and the stone-rings upon the hills and in the hollows among the hills. Sheep were bleating in flocks. Green walls and white walls rose. There were fortresses on the heights. Kings of little kingdoms fought together, and the young Sun shone like fire on the red metal of their new and greedy swords. There was victory and defeat; and towers fell, fortresses were burned, and flames went up into the sky. Gold was piled on the biers of dead kings and queens; and mounds covered them, and the stone doors were shut; and the grass grew over all. Sheep walked for a while biting the grass, but soon the hills were empty again. A shadow came out of dark places far away, and the bones were stirred in the mounds. Barrow-wights walked in the hollow places with a clink of rings on cold fingers, and gold chains in the wind.' Stone rings grinned out of the ground like broken teeth in the moonlight.

Me: O_o;;; LET'S RUN!!

Hobbits: O____O;;

*drag drag drag*

Had to get a new battery for me pedometer today. Woke up this morning & it was dead! So I won't be getting a lot of mileage today, hmm...?
