Yeah, and that's a problem, because the code requires 8 feet to be in
contact with the soil.
You can get 10 foot rods at any electrical equipment supplier.
Virtually all of them sell over the counter although it's true that some
of the bigger places want you to have an open account, etc. You just
call around. (granted, I don't know how big Beaver Creek is.. isn't it
up in the ski country near Vail?)
One way to find a place is to call an electrical contractor and ask them
where they get their stuff.
