Forum:Frodo's Years as a Ring Bearer?

On the page One Ring it says Frodo was a ring bearer for 17 years -- from 3001 to 3019. However, I was under the impression Frodo acquired the ring in 3018 and carried it (most of the way) through until it was destroyed at Mount Doom in 3019. Can someone please explain this? Thanks! And I have not read the books so that may be where my confusion is coming from. JesseStarfall (talk) 16:01, December 30, 2014 (UTC)
