You really are. I would have thought it would go a fair bit higher than that.

You could argue something similar for the barrow wights too with the fog, shadows and strange voices.

And Rhudaur is the Danelaw?

After these, possibly, because the monsters find them: ringwraiths, crebain and wolves etc. But these initial encounters are stumbled upon by Frodo & Co, and are very much fixed to their location. Just bad luck?

Sometimes I wish he’d provided more detail regarding the settlements in Rhudaur and Cardolan especially. I have trouble envisaging how extensive those were. It’s too easy to think of it all as empty wilderness. But it’s just not important to the narrative, sadly.

Also, the traffic along the east road passes through Waymeet, Frogmorton and Whitfurrows. There is plenty of traffic (dwarves and elves at least) passing through the Shire. Perhaps the difficulty in finding it is more one of identifying it?

I hope those are much closer to the camera than the foot.
