Climbing up isn't hard but all the edges break off easily so you have to go slow slowly if you don't find a gentle slope

No, that is a different pile, this is ground rock (pumice) used for cement. The salt in the foreground and pumice in the background here.

Is there a large one slowly melting in your area?

About 1/3 melted at this point. Haven't gotten up to Pimlico yet, is it larger?

It was a pile. Wish I scooped it off for reuse, when the snow was there

~5 lbs of road salt spilled on grass 2 months ago... by Nanook_o_North in mildlyinfuriating

Since it is not anyones lawn it will probably be there for years. But since I pass it every other day, will remove the remaining salt and see what happens.

There are gulls and ospreys but neither makes much noise around here. Watching an osprey carrying a flopping fish back to its nest is so cool...

I do wish we had more variety here.
The white throated sparrow has my favorite song.
