Going Down the Road

Lord of the Rings

Going Down the Road

Going where the climate suits my clothes…

Beannighe was running through Middle Earth and suddenly the scene reminded me, brought memories of many a Northern California coastal hike, long, long … oh no! three and a half decades ago!

Someone else with blurry memories of back then.

Forget all that nonsense about Swords & Sorcery. The Lord of the Rings, with due deference to what actually fills most of its pages, is really the ultimate hiking and camping novel. With The Hobbit a close second in the same curious genre.

Going down the road feeling bad
Going down the road feeling bad
Going down the road feeling bad, hey hey hey, yeah
Don’t wanna be treated this a way
