    What the heck? Okay, this worked great for the Shire, but directions get a little sparse later on. When I hit the Pelinnor Fields interchange I pretty much had to take an exit at random. I thought I was on the Minas Tirith bypass until I ended up in grinding traffic jam at a dead end a thousand feet in the air stuck watching some guy go all Burning Man.
    Let me tell you, do not even bother looking for a motel room in M. T. It's like there's an army in town. I had to drive all the way to Minas Morgul to find a place with a vacancy at a reasonable price, and let's just say that it was not exactly a 5 star joint. The SO was talking about skinflints and being stuck "in hell," the kids were all going totally arachnophobia, and some 3" juvenile delinquent stole the car and crashed it into a volcano.
    And don't even get me started on the MEAA. "Blah blah epochal crisis blah." "Some delays" my arse. We were stuck in that crummy motel for a week waiting for a rental.

    I think you're supposed to take a left at the Last Exit to Babylon.

    Funny, but ideally the distances should have been listed in leagues, not miles, for maximum ha-ha value.

    Ultimately, these directions are seriously flawed.

    One does not simply walk into Mordor.

    Or two. Or three.

    More than that would probably be a bit on the unfeasable side.

    Re: Walking Directions To Mordor

    I notice that the minute they left Bree, the Hobbits completely ignored the instructions. So they end up in the middle of Moria and have no idea where they are anymore. Typical.
    If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable.
