Boy I hear that!
I have a commercial gas well half way back my property. It has a line feeding the house. Not marked. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif It was put in by the owner and a private plumbing contractor that isn't around anymore. Neither of them. The company that owns the well tried to find it with their equipment and thought they had a good idea of how it crossed my creek and fed the house. Nope, wasn't there.
There was a lot of trenches dug when building my business and we thought for sure we would "find" that gas line.

I probably will one of these days... when I least expect it.

If it were me I would dig it in and place 2 conduits. Do it right, do it once.

You just want a light NOW, you might want to run a tool or a heater later.

JPR,

I am not aware of a 100' maximum. The column out of NEC 2005 table 300-5 reads:

Residential Branch Circuits Rated 120 Volts or Less with GFCI Protection and Maximum Overcurrent Protection of 20 Amperes
