Post Script:
Immediately following my last "solution" update, I drove over to the remote site to button things up. En route I noticed a work crew standing around a concrete bridge over a small canal, which our fiber conduit happens to runs alongside. The bridge had just collapsed (nobody injured thankfully). Conduit is torn apart pretty good but the fiber is still in tact. Not sure it will stay that way, I can't see how they'll get the bridge removed without disturbing or removing that conduit entirely. There's also a gas line that runs alongside which complicates things further.
There's never a good time for something like that, but this was just plain uncanny.
oh man - at least you still have the wifi beam connection option.
