I student taught in Orick  as the Art Teacher. The town itself is  
pretty dismal, though located near a beautiful stretch of coast. Most  
students were from an ugly roadside trailer park.  One thing that  
makes it a credible site for a thanatoid convention is the large  
number of RV's that roost near there on the coast throughout the  
year. I think there was a similar camp inland in the area.  These  
places become little communities.
