I got it! It's a jewelry hanging thingy; so you can remove and hang up all your rings, watches and necklaces that you wouldn't want to lose on the trail; that and your car keys.
That's why it's chained and bolted to the ground!

There's no bears in the Horse Heaven Hills, so it's prolly a mouse pole for hanging your food.

I saw that very thing on a Starbucks' barista's eyebrow, once.

It's an AGD, though in an unusual location I must admit.
Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

Did you notice the way it has different numbers of hooks at different levels towards the bottom? There's an important reason for that!

Ok, so does it have to do with wildlife then? I think it's the starting line for a bird race. You put your birdy on your numbered perch, then when the horn is blown, the race is on!...like horse racing but with birds. And without gates.
