Cache is not at the posted coordinates.  The starting point has nothing of interest.  No need to visit unless you have little hobbitsies.  

Welcome to the Tolkien Geocaches, dedicated to the masterful novels by J.R.R. Tolkien. All the mystery caches in this series can be solved using the same method and source image if needed. The container size represents volume inside the container. Many of the caches are inside another container. Only Erebor has room for SWAG.

Erebor, the Lonely Mountain was a subterranean Dwarven city which, in the latter half of the Third Age, became the greatest city in Middle-earth. Home to the dwarves and their amazing ability to craft things of metal.

A short path leads to the caverns of the Dwarves. BE VERY CAREFUL HERE. A FALL COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!

Congratulations to **Edwards654*** for the FTF! 68/108

I thought this was going to be a DNF. Looking all over with Coords bouncing. Went to other side s d found quickly. Nice to see regular size and the first travel bug I have seen in the wild in a long time so I snagged it. My pen fell put of my pocket higher up so attached is picture of log. Thanks for great series with fun caches and amazing artwork

We briefly searched for this one last night but stopped when it looked too dangerous to go where we needed in the dark. Today felt much safer. Still took a bit of searching before we came up with the prize. Signed log and left TB. Watch out for the red ants. Very nice container.

Caching with animjason, and Bhob grabbing this awesome series. We knew immediately what we'd be doing today when we saw these publish. Another favorite.

Thanks Tolkien! Logged Erebor from a ninth galaxy using c:geo!

Out and about in Middle-Earth . . . er, I mean, Middle-Aurora this morning, with "animjason" and "BearAdair" - we enjoyed a variety of adventures with the series of five themed geocaches, this being the second of them. TN-LN-SL. Thanks !
