Arcminutes of longitude conversion to meters
This lab had a cold open in the field against the risk of rain. High humidity made this a tough morning measurement run. This was the view east from the starting point.

Due to the flying start at 8:00, only three students were present for the measurements.
Thirty meters was problematic: smack dab in the middle of the entrance road

Sixty meters was under the Terminalia catappa.
240 meters was just a few centimeters beyond the sheet metal fence for the new learning health center. Upon return to the classroom much of the rest of the class was present. Since three had done the heavy lifting of gathering the data in the heat and humidity, I tagged on +10 to 071. Those who had 10 for finding me wound up with 20 out of 10 possible. Those who did not find me had their excused changed to 10/10, which provides a small boost.
All board work was post hoc.

With clouds building, I went for a second cold open at 11:00. The class launched with four. The morning route had proven functional and so I opted to repeat that route.
The line from E 158° 09.500' extends East for 239 meters (ground measure with measuring wheel).
The measurement at 30 meters was a "read and go" to get out of the road.

Making readings at the 60 meter mark.
Looking forward the new line is functional. The ground is not as sodden as the field in front of the men's residence hall. When the health center is completed the 240 meter measurement should be possible, perhaps more.
