This one is by an autists endeavor to figure out shit from shinola in the Talmud world
This is probably where RBG went to die
Clearly (you) can see the long arduous journey of Talmud feltchers and pedogaytriotismology of pedosta gynotology for fake dope wars of the cia profiteering model
Pelosism sounds like a hoarder symptom
Smeagol was a Stoor Hobbit before the ring corrupted him. This means he was from Gladden Fields just east of the Misty Mountains.
According to the link below he did go searching for the ring but he waited until 2 years after Bilbo took the ring. He spent almost the next 60 years either searching or being captured.
I reckon he never went to the Shire because he didn't know where it was. Shire Hobbits didn't seem knowledgable about things outside of the Shire so I imagine Stoor Hobbits would be the same. I'd say its safe to assume that Smeagol was never west of the Misty Mountains so he'd know nothing of that land. Also I can't see Gollum asking someone for directions to the Shire so he'd have no way of knowing where it is.

The green circle is Galdden Fields and the red circle is the Shire.
Boromir, son of Denethor emphatically states at the Council of Elrond that it is not a simple task to take the One Ring to Mordor, to destroy it.
The diminutive hobbits - Frodo and Sam - make their way into Mordor, against all odds, and destroy the One Ring; thus defeating the bad guys. I may not be defeating any bad guys by writing One Does Not Simply is about a journey and making it to a destination that at the moment feels very far away.
Why didn't Bilbo Baggins and the Dwarves go North or South around Mirkwood Forest?
Thanks for the A2A!
There are two reasons - Distance, and Danger.
Distance:
This is the map of Middle Earth. The Red bar is 250 miles (in case you can’t read the scale).
These are the proposed paths around Mirkwood.
As you can clearly see, through my advanced scientific tools of analysis (Paint), I have determined that:
Journeying straight across along the hidden forest road is 250 miles
Journeying along the north under the shadow of Ered Mithrin is 450 miles
Journeying along the south of Mirkwood past Dol Guldur is 950 miles
Going north would have almost doubled their journey.
Going south would have almost quadrupled their journey.
In both cases, starvation would have been a very serious concern, not to mention the fact that reaching Erebor for Durin’s Day would have been harder on the northern route (but not impossible - they would have saved the time spent in Thranduil’s prisons!), and all but impossible along the Southern route.
Danger:
Let’s go back to our beautifully rendered map.
You see those blue squares?
What do they read?
Mt. Gundabad, and Dol Guldur.
Mt. Gundabad was an orc fortress, and quite possibly the heart of the mountain orcs power. All of Ered Mithrain was within striking distance of the orcs - indeed, that is the route that the armies of the Misty Mountains took to get to the battle of five armies. So if the Party had marched north, their heels would have been dogged by the very goblins they had so narrowly escaped from!
Dol Guldur was the seat of The Necromancer…. that is, the Dark Lord Sauron. Marching south would have meant marching past his seat of power (second only to the mighty fortress of Barad-dûr). This would have been, quite frankly, ridiculously dangerous. Made even more so by the fact that the party carried with them the One Ring (not that they knew it at the time, of course!).
In summation, the journey they took through Mirkwood, though long and beset by dangers, was actually less dangerous than their other two options, and much, much shorter.
