Tell about your favorite VINE PYRAMID. Mine is this one, in Clinton County, Michigan.

The artificial shrubland beyond it is beauteous. Per the Clinton County online parcel viewer, it is owned by a sand and gravel mining company. Per Google Maps' terrain/relief layer, it looks like this part of the property has not been mined for its sand and gravel yet.
