I like them, but too open, cheery and light to be Mirkwood. Also it needs some "old growth" stuff.

But, I like them and the idea. I just reread the Hobbit and the Lord of the Ring for the ??? time, I lost track. First read them in 67 while I was in Nam.

Thanks for looking. I was on a cargo ship (military sea transportation service) on my way to Nam when I received a package from my brother (Navy Commander) in Panama that included the Hobbit. Couldn't put it down, and during a stopover in Guam, I bought the trilogy. The rest of the crew went looking for drinks and companionship, I went looking for a book store. They thought I was nuts.

I love the pathway shot. I read the trilogy but had to make up a scoresheet as to which character did what.

I was in Nam when my Stepfather died. Going home on emergency leave and as I was packing a good friend handed me the 1st volume of the trilogy. Read the whole thing in a C141 crossing the Pacific. Bought a trilogy set and the Hobbit and took them back to Nam with me. I own 2 paper versions and two e-book versions of the whole thing. Tossed out a paperback version that just plain fell apart.

Glad you came home OK. I was there on the freighter "69 into '70 schlepping all sorts of ammo (11.000 tons) between Subic Bay and a drop off point just outside of Saigon in the river. The Trilogy was a great escape between watch duty in the engine room.

I was in Qui Nhon Dec 66 to Jan 69 with HHC of the 593rd General Support Group, extended my tour twice. Spent most of Nov 66 on the USNS General W. H. Gordon (T-AP-117). Oakland(600 or so men,mixed bag of Army HQ units) to San Diego(1200 Marines, replacement battalion of "draftees") to Naha to Da Nang(dropped off Marines) to Qui Nhon.

I was an engineer on a freighter that used to be part of the defunct United States Lines. We were under contract to the Army to carry 11,000 tons of all sorts of ammo. From small arms, mortars, artillery shells and 500lb bombs. the crew were merchant seamen and as officers, we were we given rank as inactive Navy reserve. Lot's of crazy bureaucracy, but it worked.
