[AT] Trailer floors (was) lots of saw mills

[Ralph Goff]

Hi Rick, that is surprising if it is the cottonwood trees I am thinking of. 
What we call cottonwood is pretty much like a poplar tree. Poplar poles and 
lumber last well here only if they are kept undercover and not exposed to 
the elements. Some of the old log buildings made of poplar still stand 
although for how much longer I don't know.
