   I've decided in favor of the ditch and 2" PVC conduit.   Home   
   Depot here has something called a "Ground Hog" that rents for   
   something like $120 for the day and cuts a little trench just   
   about the right width.   Guy at Home Depot says it will even chew   
   through certain kinds of rock (we're on a shale ridge...).
