I didn't actually witness that installation, but it was done by a well-known electrical contractor here in the Napa Valley.

I don't think there is actually any Romex underground, but if there is, it's the gray stuff that's rated for damp locations.

The junction box I'm referring to takes the feed from the main wires, and distributes it to the outlets and light fixtures in the barn.
I don't know about that gray stuff. We would never use it and some inspectors will not pass it. I actually don't think its code.
