Good luck finding caps that big. I know I had to special order them from a plumbing warehouse 300 miles away. They turned out to be 2-piece caps at $70 EACH. I was told that 'Nobody caps 12" pipe.' The pipe I got for a song and a dance; $1.00 per foot.
I've been thinking of digging the hole and putting 8" of concrete in the bottom. While the concrete is wet I'd ram one end of the pipe into it. Once the concrete cured, I'd pour a gallon of thompson's waterseal inside the pipe. That should end up being pretty waterproof. I'll use the PVC cap on the top.
6" and 8" PVC pipe are much easier to work with.
