National Park Mystery Photo 48: A Thingie That’s Part of a Set

 Vot da hell is dis?!

 Mystery Photo 48 was taken in a national park. If you can tell us what this thing is and name the national park in which it is located, you will be eligible for our monthly prize drawing.

No Cheating! If we catch you Googling or engaged in other sneakery we will make you write on the whiteboard 100 times:

Arguing that batting average is a very inefficient measure of a batter’s skill, sabermetricians prefer to gauge a batter's ability by on-base percentage (hits plus walks plus hit by pitches divided by at bats plus walks plus hit by pitches plus sacrifice flies, but not sacrifice bunts), slugging percentage (total bases -- one per single, two per double, three per triple, and four per home run – divided by at bats), and more recently, derivatives such as on-base slugging percentage (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage).

Git along, little doggy, you're not going to solve it that way;-)


I am stumped also...But I will venture a guess that it is a hub from a wheelwright shop at a Dutch colony lets say Hopewell Furnace National historic site


David, you're on the wrong side of the country. 'Nuff said;-)


Here's some additional information that may be helpful:  The object in the cropped photo is attached to a wagon wheel, but the object is not attached to a wagon -- not even indirectly.    


David, you are so close we should give it to you. I'll defer to the professor, however, as while you're close, you haven't exactly identified the object in question.


David Crowl has ID-ed the park, but the thing depicted is not a "wooden hub."  Here at Traveler we are now taking bets on how long it will take him to see the light.
