I thought perhaps Kinnikinnic but I think you are right farmgal
WOOT WOOT!
Yup, looks like partridge berry all right!
The give away, which you can't see from my photos, was the double dimple on the bottom of the berries.
What a great find. I will be propagating this and transplanting as a ground cover in a few spots in my effort to reduce the amount of useless grass in my yard.
Has some interesting medicinal qualities too, although not being a menstruating, pregnant, or nursing woman, not much use to me.
Thanks everyone!
