@JudyEv It's a Chinook word. Wikki says it means strong, brave, and other things but not what I've understood it to mean: kookie.

Don't know skookum but it sounds like it fits the bill.

@BarBaraPrz In that case, skookum is a great word for it.

sounds like lots of fun. I'm not so good with geography so no I did not see what was wrong with it but thought it was a nice wall hanging.

@rebelann The tavern has been there a number of years but isn't an antiquated building. I can't think of any excuse for it to be the way it is. And Tasmania isn't on the wall either.

Thanks. I'd be pretty unhappy if it was my restaurant. I like things a bit more correct than that. Thanks for the good wishes.

I hope that you had a great camping trip! The East - West is a mistake which needs to be rectified but not something that might be easy to do. Plus the shape of North America is also quite different from what it is actually.
