I try to avoid doing that as much as possible. I may live in Michigan, but
we've got sand dunes nearby, rolling hills, and lots of faux-elevation (i.e.
trees in great abundance).

I was thinking specifically of the scene in TFotR, where he stops and waxes
philosophical on the fact that if he takes one more step (out of a local
farmer's field, no less), that it will be the farthest he's ever been from home.
For many people, that's about the extent of their travels. It would have been
more accurate to mention one of the other residents of Hobbiton, but I don't
know their names off the top of my head.
