Without any hints as to foliage, could it be air potato? (invasive non-native)

Thanks, morz8. You hit it!!! If I could identify it from the ground, it might be possible to cut it down. But I'm afraid that identifying the particular vine would be nearly impossible. It's a pretty dense area. Also, I suspect that it may have roots that have already spread out to another area. Can't say for sure. I appreciate your quick I.D.

Hi,
You have an Air Potato vine. It is spread by the potatoes that drop to the ground and root. They make a beautiful hoseplant if kept indoors but can be a real invasive pain if left to roam on it's own.

Thanks Kelly for the idea. I have learned what the !@#$%$ is. I know I'll never be able to get rid of it. But I kind of like the idea of planting one in a pot and growing it as a houseplant or, in my case, a greenhouse plant. I know that disposing of it will take special care. We're just now having the coldest nights/days of the winter, so I'm not enthused about going out and picking up the 'taters.' But in the next few days, as the weather warms, I plan to go out and pick up as many as I can find to dispose of them. Might plant a couple in pots just to see them grow as controlled vines in a controlled environment. Thanks for your interest and your response.
