As the ranger of this expedition, I have taken charge of the maps. Last night before leaving Rivendell, I charted our course for the next 27 days. Our pace is much more leisurely than that of the original Fellowship- we shall be taking four weeks to cover what they did in 48 hours!
But take heart friends. We are here for friendship and adventure- not flying from danger into the dark! Our pace will start slow, but pick up as we grow stronger.
At the end of today (May 19th) we will be out of the Rivendell Vallen and onto the Moors.
On Sunday, May 25th, we should be at the Ford of Bruinen.
On Thursday, June 5th we will pass through a steepsided canyon.
On Monday, June 9th we will enter a rough and barren country- though I hear that since the passing of the Shadow it has become a more pleasant and friendly place to travel.
On Friday, June 13th we will cut across a small stream, which may prove a welcome rest for our feet. (Despite the supposed unluckiness of the date).
And on Sunday, June 15th, we will have walked 28 miles and completed our first month of this adventure!
I will post this schedule on the side of this page. I have also set up a place for us each to keep track of our individual miles- since I assume that though we will all be averging 1 mile per day, we will actually be completing those miles in a slightly differant fashion. To keep track of this, simply include your current "mileage" by your name at the bottom of your post and I will put it in the sidebar for you. For actually writing our posts, I think we should each write according to the "location" of the Fellowship, regardless of where our personal miles might be.

Realy, Master Samdo? Well, remember, as one of the Dunedain, I believe I am in charge of the hunting expeditions, and if you do not behave yourself, you may find yourself supperless. Elevenses-less for certain.
