Answer
Dear KyleJones, thank you for posting the nice images. Yes, your plant is Equisetum variegatum. The narrow stems with persistent leaves that have a prominent white border are tell tale signs. While not exclusively, this plant often occurs in regions of high pH bedrock and/or till, especially where disturbance has removed the competing plants. Best wishes.
