Which way are the legs oriented? I have a pipeline to AZ on 20 - might have to hop on this weekend if you're around and chat.

East/West. But have a 7000' above terrain mountain NNE of me, and 2000-3000' above terrain to my south to NW. But SOMETIMES... those work to my advantage!

Sounds impressive. I thought I had problems with the 1200' ridge to the south but that's nothing compared to that.

Come live in my country, we don't do ridges, hills, or mountains ;)

And with the high water table, the ground must be incredible. I know it was in Bay Ridge and The Rockaways near the ocean.

1 1/2 feet i hit the water table and young seaclay, still a tad silty.

30 kilometers from the sea, 20 kilometers from the Ijselmeer a large lake and 3 km from the Sneekermeer our lake near the city.

It does help ;) as does the 3000 feet of copper wire in/on the ground for the Inverted L.
