Just my superficial impression based on only passing through town and other similar looking places in the Pacific Northwest.

Most of Happy Camp's residents seem to be elderly loggers who may have seen happier days.

Sculpture of a sasquatch greets travelers coming into town.  At least someone has an artistic flair.  Most of the town seemed "drably pragmatic."  "Go git a job, but they wouldn't let us cut today."

Quite a few broken down trucks around town, but fairly good food in a local cafe/bar. 

Another stop along the way.
