Has anyone visited the site? It looks like a cool place to visit. They say on their facebook page that they are getting ready to start taking night tours. Here are some of the pictures of it at night.

I haven't but I'm going to  Those night tours sound like fun, but I think I'd still prefer daytime sightseeing. It gives a better view of the surrounding country. |

When I took part in the People to People program we passed right by a Hobbit hole they brought into town and placed along the road. I begged and pleaded to just stop for a few minutes, but I was denied.  The US Gov had us on a tight schedule so we couldn't stop. So yes and no. I passed by but couldn't stop and explore like I wanted. I am defiantly going back one day though to wander around and unleash my inner Hobbit though!

I don't see why they wouldn't I think if more people wanted to do that the better. It would be a more immerse environment and more pleasing to the guests from the land of weird clothes. Oh dang now I already started to think like a Ranger. If that ever happens let me know and I'll come and join you two for work. Xd |

You can actually see Hobbiton from across the river. But yeah we thought it would be cool if people came over a hill and saw our ranger camp and could visit with us and everything. |

If I went to visit and saw a Ranger camp that would make my day! Ah let's face it it would make my year!  Oh sweet! That would be an epic visit in game. I was thinking for a moment if LOTRO had Sarn Ford but I don't think so. Another reason to buy WitN.

My cousin, sister and I went back to a creek that is behind my house one night brought brats, rootbeer and started a little fire and played like we were at Sarn Ford. I parked the truck on top of the hill behind a tree, hooked my mp3 player up to it, turned the volume up and put the song from it on repeat. It was an awesome night. Someday if I can afford to get Boromir's Banner and a big tent we are looking at, we plan to do it again sometime. |

That sounds like a really fun and great night.  It is a really nice track, I am listening to it now. I kind of wish I lived closer to some fellow Ringers or anyone on this site, really. I love travelling up to the Eastern Sierras on the edge of California. I can never get anyone to be my adventuring buddy anymore. Then again that is quite a long trip from where I am, but do-able for a weekend trip. Hopefully once I get my Boromir costume done I can take a friend or two up so we can explore and do a few photoshoots in that costume and my 2013 Lara Croft. |

I'll definitely be posting pictures when it is finally done. It is going to take a long time because of funds and that a lot of stuff is super expensive.  Also need more practice with sewing as I have lived with my father for most of my life and missed out on that lovely skill to it's fullest. I can mend clothes but when it comes to a sewing machine... I can make a nice pillow but that's about it. I am also a perfectionist so it is going to be a long journey to make most of this costume by hand.I really would love to have a simple ranger costume as well. Someday...
