J.R.R. Tolkien, a masterful wordsmith and scholar, gifted the world with Middle-earth, a realm of enduring magic and profound storytelling. His creation of intricate languages, rich histories, and timeless characters such as hobbits and elves has shaped the landscape of modern fantasy. Every year, for his birthday, Rangers of the Wilds honors this man, who inspired millions to go on an adventure, by renting a cabin in Hocking Hills to watch all six of the extended edition movies, eat like hobbits, and enjoy the wilds.
“Alone, it’s just a journey. Now adventures, they must be shared.”
