Why did gandalf visit Bilbo Baggins?

I think Gandalf came to Bilbo to either get a 14 man. (Another reply) Gandalf was helping the dwarves, and he believed that Bilbo could help. However, his help to the dwarves was secondary to his main mission: to get information about Sauron. Sauron is mentioned in the Hobbit, as the Necromancer; in the Lord of the Rings, Gandalf confirms that the "Necromancer" was no other than the old enemy, Sauron.


Why does Gandalf want a burglar rather then a hero or a warrior to accompany the dwarves on this advemture?

Gandalf understood Hobbits and he knew that Bilbo would never refuse one or two Dwarf guests. Once they were in, he would be unable to refuse members of their party because that would have been rude. Introducing all the dwarves at once would give Bilbo the right to refuse because there were too many.

Where do the eagles take Gandalf Bilbo and the dwarves?

As the eagles rescued Gandalf, Bilbo, and the dwarves, the birds took them first to their aeries in the Misty Mountains to rest for the night. The next morning, the eagles flew the wizard, hobbit, and dwarves to the Carrock, a tall rock outcropping in the eastern foothills of the mountains by a river. The Carrock was named by the skin-changer Beorn, who often used it as a lookout post.
