Rohan’s Treasure

This cache was long postponed because of the high risk, such heroes we are not.
But yes, this adventure made us curious...
So we put on our hiking shoes on and went in search of Rohan’s treasure.
Our trip started in the young and old forest.
This area is pretty safe, you will find no friends or enemies during your walk.
There are also beautiful lakes.

Then we walked through the elves forest, here we felt the tension rising.
Were we watched or not.
We saw the old ruins, here was the legendary meeting place of the elves
and the legendary Ents.
As we walked through the Elves forest we saw many very little birds,
or would they have been Elves.?
We walked safely over the busy road, fortunately not seen by the The
terrifying Ringwraiths .

We were now searching for the Ents of Fangorn.
The beginning of the field of Fangorn has a wonderful nature, there
was quiet throughout the Fangorn land..
We had have no idea that we walked through a hostile area .
Until our dog Error say at  once "weep", was he hit by a thunderbolt?.
Or was it  the fence of Saruman  or would it be his magic wand?
We did not know, but the further we walked the through land of
Fangorn, the more exciting it got.
We saw in the distance Minas Palentir, this tower was very dominant presence.

Then suddenly we walked into the old part of Fangorn’s land and we were
guided by the remainder of middle earth.
Will we now soon see The Ents?
And indeed we have met the legendary Ents.
They look scary, but they were very friendly to us.
We even have make photos of the Ents.
The Ent land is incredibly beautiful.

But we could not stay too long, our goal was to find Rohan’s treasure.
We walked through Fangorn’s land ,in the direction towards the Horse
Breeders of Rohan.
We meet them in a  small farm house, the Rohirrim are very brave Knights..
Gradually we walked from the Forrest to  the fields of Rohan which consist of
rough grass-land and heather.
Here it is very open and we were  very close to the tower ”seen from afar."

We could see our  enemies through the open field but the enemies could
see us also...

We had a feeling that the Orcs were in the  vicinity, we heard a sound
that always returned.
Who would that be, the Ringwraiths?
The nature was very beautiful but aware of the danger, we accelerated our pace.
Along lakes, sand dunes and small wooded areas we found the region
that was governed by Saruman and the Orcs.

Here we quickly did our task and then walked with big steps fast to the
given coordinates..
Fortunately, we were not seen
Thanks to clear clues o we had found on our adventurous journey, we
find the little treasure box immediately.
In this chest was the last clue to be found, the big questions was:
are we close to Rohan’s treasure?

Have we accomplish this difficult test?
Our hands were full of sweat, could we can handle the last task?

With shivering legs, and all the power we had left in our bodies, we
gained through the hostile territory.
The end of the journey was nearby.
We started searching with the new information we had discovered
, we started to search for Rohan’s treasure.
Our heart was beating very fast.
And yahoooooooooooooooo, we found Rohan’s treasure.
We had survive this difficult test of darkness.
As proof we took a coin from Rohan’s chest and we left a note on the scroll.

Treasure maker from Rohan’s treasure thanks for sharing this great
adventure with us.
The journey brought us in beautiful nature and the story was very thrilling.
