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).

Not borax mining equipment at Death Valley National Park, and not a cannon wheel hub.
Stagecoach wheel hubs at Yellowstone NP
Sorry, Caprice; a wagon wheel is involved, but the object you must identify is not a wagon wheel hub, and this photo wasn't taken at Yellowstone.
Based on the 9:28am answer, how about part of the mechanism for lowering wagons down the hill at Scott's Bluff NM? I don't like my answer because of that phillips screw in the smaller hoop, and because I don't remember remnants of the mechanism being on display, as i was with a vegetation crew. Also, I don't recall Kurt or Bob travelling in that part of the country.
What?!? We've stumped tomp2??? This is a red-letter day, cuz that doesn't happen often.
It looks like the group has established it's a wagon wheel hub (axle end), so I'm just going to guess every park that might have a covered wagon exhibit. First try: Whitman Mission NHS.
My next guess will be a wagon wheel hub at Bent's Old Fort NHS. Might as well get that one out of the way now.
