Day 4

We ran into Merry & Pippin, literally over by farmer Maggot's farm. Frodo has been on edge for a while now. It's no wonder with those black riders after us. We nearly got caught by them when we fell off the ledge gettin' out of the shire. Merry and Pip are keeping the mood light. It's a good thing they don't know what we have to do and that Frodo has to carry this ring to Rivendell. I think this adventure is going to be a bit more involved than we thought. If we can just get to the Prancing Pony and talk to Gandalf again, I think Frodo will feel better. ~ Sam
