Geocache Description:


This cache series is all about recognizing unconventional units of measure and converting between them and more standard units.The unit of measure this cache focuses on is the Lord of the Rings Marathon, or LotRM. One LotRM is equal to the amount of time it takes to watch all three movies in Peter Jackson's epic trilogy adaptation of The Lord of The Rings, which for the purposes of this cache equates to 9 hours and 18 minutes. You can access the puzzle here:
