Revenge of the Tape Measure #1

To travel from cache to cache and assist in finding clues to the location of the Revenge of the Tape Measure geocache, which is in the vicinity of Hudson, Massachusetts. The travel bug should be kept in eastern Massachusetts.

Each of the three “Revenge of the Tape Measure” travel bugs can be used to find a clue that will provide the coordinates of the Revenge of the Tape Measure cache. When you recover the travel bug from any cache, use the indicated dimensions to measure that far away from the cache to find digits of the coordinates. How will you know how far 42 and 71 inches are from the cache, while you are in the field? That’s what the tape measure is for! Amazingly, you will be able to find these clues at any cache that the tape measure travel bug is hidden in. The next step is to move the travel bug along to another cache as you would any other. Once you have found all three travel bugs and discovered the information they provide, you can put together the coordinates to find this cache. To assist in your search, you will probably want to put each of the 3 travel bugs on your watch list.

The coordinates will be as follows: 42 22.ABC 071 31.DEF
