There used to be several veneer mills and 3 or 4 plywood mills in Humboldt county until the plywood industry could not compete with imports...
Colorado didn’t have many lumber mills until about ten years ago, after the pine beetles killed millions of trees. At first governments resisted lumber mills who wanted to come in and harvest the dead trees, but eventually they saw reason and decided to have a lumber industry harvest them rather than have them sit there dead until they caught on fire. (Ahem California)
Odd to see Delores in the news. I have family there. It exists in the Colorado side of the “Four Corners” near Cortez. If you ever wanted to live in a place where nobody will find you, this is a good one.
