Here's the one used as a promo for the last Hobbit movie: http://middle-earth.thehobbit.com/Chris Manninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05931725234971735017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9192589828784769498.post-27060332904751103872014-07-14T16:46:33.821-04:002014-07-14T16:46:33.821-04:00Good points about maps.

I then had to revise my map for CHARMED MEMORIES.
