Beaver Boy,
Sounds like you all had a grand hunt. Chinook is a coastal Indian word and
has been adopted to discribe the warm winds that blow down from the
mountains to suddenly raise temps and melt snow in front of your eyes. There
is another wind that blows back out from the inland Columbia Basin through
the Columbia River Gorge called Coho.
