It\u2019s the world\u2019s worst whitewater rafting trip in the second half of Chapter 9 of The Hobbit! Bilbo reveals his plan for escaping the Elvenking\u2019s halls. His friends are, quite understandably, less than enthusiastic, but with both time and ideas running out, it\u2019s into the barrels they go! As they float away to freedom (or death), we learn more about Elvish wine, Dwarvish claustrophobia, and Hobbits\u2019 legendary fear of water. Also, an excuse to talk about E\xe4rendil (as if Shawn needed one), and historic moments from the War of the Ring remembered in a special Tolkien history segment.
