   Thanks John.   
   Thanks Winston.   
   Thanks Gordon.   
   Thanks Pete   
      
   In light of the abovementioned wisdom, here's my plan:   
   ----------------------------------------------------------   
   1) Run Cat5e to the shed and just leave it laying on the   
      ground pending proof-of-concept.   
      
      
   2) Use a POE-compliant IE camera or power the camera with   
      a POE splitter.   
      
      
   3) If things work out with just the cam, get some of that   
      Cat5e with the goop inside that's meant for burial   
      and bury it any way I can.   
      
      
   4) If the cam still needs a light, try the solar-powered   
      flood, but don't get my hopes up capacity-wise.   
      
      
   5) If the combo solar-flood/cam is still not getting it,   
      call an electrical guy for an estimate - stipulating   
      I bury the cable per his specs and his job is limited   
      to terminating said cable at each end.   
      
      
   6) Bury the Cat5e and whatever the electrical guy specs   
      for the 120v in 2" PVC pipe (or whatever is acceptable   
      to him) leaving a few pull strings against future bright   
      ideas from Yours Truly.   
      
      Use a DitchWitch, try for 18" deep and settle for 6"   
      if necessary (we are on a shale ridge)   
   ----------------------------------------------------------   
      
   Anybody see any problems there?
