“We went to Waitarere on the way to Wellington and the whole forest of trees had been cut down !!! We were shocked ! No sign of a track where the elves were leaving Lothlorien any more, or where Arwen saw the vision of her son. Gone ! Lost. Wiped out ! The June Tour was the last to see it !!” – Raewyn
My friend and I were in the June ’07 Fellowship for Red Carpet Tours and it was beautiful there. I’m sad to hear it is gone now.
