Journal #10

Bilbo travels upriver and finally approaches the foot of the Lonely Mountain. The mountain is very dark and full of despair. The book describes how there is no growth in the ground because Smaug has burnt it all away, just a dark mountain surrounded by charred, black foliage. The main entrance of the mountain, (Smaug's entrance) seems too dangerous, so the crew tries to find that secret entrance that the map told them about. After searching for a long time they find a narrow passage way that has a door but they had no idea how to open it. Bilbo finally remembers the message on the moonlit map and a suns ray moves a rock to  bring a keyhole into sight. They act quickly and open up the door, they are now finally inside of Lonely Mountain, Smaug's Tomb.
