[78-L] Klickitat

[Ron Fial]

FYI,  The computer servers at our company are named after snow-capped Northwest mountains (see below), using the original native-american indian names.  Klickitat is the name for Mt. Adams (Cascade range in Washington state), as per the local Klickitat Indian tribe.  There is also a Klickitat river, etc. These names are not unique, Klickitat was also called Pahto.

Mt. St. Helens = Loowit,    Mt Hood = Wyeast,   Crater Lake = Mazama    Mt Ranier = Takhoma or Tahoma,   Mt. Baker = Kulshan,   Mt. Adams = Klickitat or Pahto,   Mt. Jefferson = (maybe) Seekseekqua

Now I will be seaching my for  'Black Ball Ferry Line'.   ....Oops,  should have been cataloging instead of sitting with the computer!

    Regards,

>The Black Ball Line used to run ferries all over the Pacific Northwest. Kilickitat is a river and an Indian tribe here in Washington, but it's also a ferry in the state ferry system (which toook over many of the old Black Ball lines), MV Klickitat. I think the Port Angeles-Victoria ferry still uses an old Black Ball ship.
