Thinking to myself that the peg would work around whatever it was or said object would displace in the soil. I eventually got it driven and had a great night in the ole' HH.

The next morning I realized I had spent my time driving my stake into a 6" diameter root! Believe me it was much, much harder to yank that sucker out! When it did finally come free, there was essentially zero damage other than some scuffing of the pretty red anodizing. That rock was in the 8-10lb range and the root was a toughie. A winner in my book!
After this post MSR groundhogs are writen in my notepad.
