National Park Mystery Photo 43: What's In Store?

This isn't wine.

In which unit of the National Park System was this photo taken, and what does it depict? We'll give you a hint: It's not wine.

Readers who answer correctly will be eligible for our monthly prize drawing.

The answer will be posted in tomorrow's Traveler.

No cheating! If we catch you Googling or engaged in sneakery of any description, we'll make you write on the whiteboard 100 times:

The 34-letter word "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" of Mary Poppins fame is thought to have been derived from a combination of the concepts super-  (above), cali-  (beauty), fragilistic-  (delicate), expiali- (to atone), and docious-  (educable). Although this can be taken to have many different meanings, such as "atoning for educability through delicate beauty," it was said to mean "something to say when you have nothing to say" in the Mary Poppins context.  Some people with nothing better to do have learned to spell this word backwards, which is suocodilaipxecitsiligarfilacrepus.

Not a keg of gun powder at Fort Laramie National Historic Site.


Is there a limit on guesses? Feel free to cut me off anytime now...
How about keg of powder at Grand Portage National Monument?


Not gunpowder kegs at Grand Portage National Monument. 

There is no limit on guesses, Eric. Bring 'em on. I assure you that the Quizmeister, who has been hardened by three years in the military, 40 years of dealing with college students, and 48 years of marriage, can outlast you.


I suppose it could be keg of powder  in the Museum of Westward Expansion at Jefferson Memorial Expansion Monument?


Not a keg of gunpowder at Jefferson National Expansion Memorial.


How about gunpowder (or other military supplies) going down the canal at Cuyahoga N.P. in Ohio?


I feel good about this one keg of powder at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.
 
If nothing else, I am getting better at deciphering the 'CAPTCHA'
