trip to sawmill

Blake and Arden went to the sawmill near Chadron to pick up more lumber to use in replacement of wore out corrals.  The mill has access to many trees again as they are located right on the border of many thousands of acres that were burned in the forest fires last summer.  The burnt and now dead trees are suitable for making lumber for about 3 years after the fire before the wood becomes too rotten to use.  This mill is located in a very scenic canyon that has lost some of it's beauty because of all the burnt trees near by.  This is one of the mill men sawing out a beam for use in construction.
