Hmm...I like the auger idea. I'll try a small drain auger & shop-vac on the caked-up end. Worth a shot. I tried my steel fish tape, but it only seemed to compact the dirt even more.
Empty conduit. I can get to one end (Bldg. 1), but they cut it off below ground-level on the opposite end (Bldg. 2). That's where the dirt has intruded/settled over the years.
