A buddy of mine gave me two pieces of 2” pipe that thread together, 24’ will be more than enough to reach all the way through. It’s a private drive.

Sounds like a job for a roto-rooter. My B-I-L was born into his dad's septic service business and still does pipe clogs. I don't know for sure that he does pipes that size with that type of clogs, but he's spoken of some jobs where he had 100 plus feet of line out under the floors of large buildings, unclogging them when the other options would have meant massive disruptive sawing through concrete floors for access and weeks of work by larger crews.
Might want to give a local septic service guy a call.

Finally got the darn thing opened up yesterday. Turns out the clog was on the lower end about 10 feet in. I welded together two 10 foot rebar pieces and hand rammed it for about 15 minutes and the leaves started coming out. There was a rock about the size of the pipe in there and after getting a chain past it I pulled it out with the four wheeler. Couldn’t get any equipment on the lower side, to many trees and going sideways downhill. Put a screen on the inlet side so my problem should be fixed.

Hopefully, your screen holds up and does the job.

You could go all old farmer and just drive 2 T posts in front of the pipe dividing the opening in 1/3rds. Anything that fits past the posts shouldn't cause clogging issues. The posts also show exactly where the pipe is if anything sticks on the outside and backs the water up.

I made a screen of hog wire with chicken wire over it secured with rebar the minute I unclogged it.
