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.

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.

NPS business, you say? The needle on the Quizmesiter's weaselspeakmeter, which has been quivering all morning, has pegged out and is threatening to break under the stress.
I really have no idea, but I'll take a guess: the photo is of barrels of gunpowder at Fort Donelson. No follow-ups; I have to get to work!
Sorry, celbert; this photo was not taken at Fort Donelson National Battlefield. How sad that you have to go to work.
This might be a "bold [guess] for a one-eyed, fat man," but how about Fort Smith National Historic Site.
Are you channeling Rooster Cogburn, Eric? If so, Rooster needs to sober up. Wrong again.
I'm pretty sure I've seen these...
I'm going to say gun powder at the Powder Magazine in Charleston, SC.
Since the Quizmeister's clues are meant to torment as much as inform, I'll take one more shot (in the dark). I'll guess powder kegs at Fort Larned National Historic Site, since it is very close to the 100th meridian.
