Does anyone know what a Chinook is? Have you ever experienced one? Dark clouds overhead, except in the west over the mountains, where there is an arch of blue sky. Hopefully the wind will pick up soon.
Chinook is a city in Washington, near the mouth of the Columbia River.
It is also the name of a tribe, who lived near where the present city is, when Lewis & Clark explored the area.
It is also the name of the large, dual-rotor transport helicopters.
