I basically followed your advice and ran far away. That's why I'm getting Central HVAC, which I'm sad about as I like the idea of Geothermal, but it is what it is.

I’m wondering if you’re talking about digging horizontal loops, while our export here is talking about drilling vertical loops.

You don’t want to dig an 6ft trench through rock, but you should be able to drill through it if you’re drilling 70’ boreholes.
