<div id="ygrps-yiv-1059058380">You might buy a 100-foot fiberglass tape measure at your local home center.<br/>
They&#39;re cheap, light, non-stretching, and have a handy crank for easy roll-up.<br/>
You&#39;d have to lay it six times, but your measurement would still be more<br/>
accurate than fighting sag and wind with a 600-foot anything.  Being<br/>
non-metallic, it should pass airport security in checked baggage.  You might<br/>
pack pencils for stakes instead of the more usual large nails.<br/>

&gt; I probably will try some sort of measurement from the witness<br/>
&gt; monument.  However, our experience with a string at MA-NH-VT suggests<br/>
&gt; we need something less stretchy. I might have a problem carrying a 600<br/>
&gt; ft. roll of piano wire onto a plane, so I&#39;ll probably check out<br/>
&gt; available options in Wheaton.  Maybe I can rent/borrow one of those<br/>
&gt; laser surveying units.<br/>
