Bob,  I have a similar situation here.  I just run the beverage wire
approximately following the ground contour - however steep and undulating -
about 6 - 8 ft off of the ground.  My ground is thin topsoil over ledge.
Beverages low poor ground conductivity.

TY Alan and John for that.  Unfortunately my ledge has little if any ground
conductivity and is extremely uneven with 45+ degree hills and ridges and
ravine dropoffs everywhere.  The only areas that are flat enough are either
on my neighbors lawns or my septic field or far too close to my transmit
antennas.  And none of that will work.

 

It's quite a challenge here!
