As soon as I can get on the right track and build up a head of steam I am going to give this some thought.

Wrong track....hint

Answers so far are not what I seek. Think Lewis and Clark.

Re: Humpday Triviola

Row, row, row your cottonwood gently down the stream . . . (sorry if I am more than a little off key).

Re: Humpday Triviola

Probably not the answer you are seeking, but cottonwood fueled a lot of the early steamboats up and down the inland waterways (Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio Rivers). It was very common along these rivers.
