"I enjoy seeing the same groups of people each year. It's interesting to see how people, usually elderly, who have already raised a family, develop new ones - park families, we call them - and it's like they have reunions each year."

Truck Stop in Topock, Arizona
"During the holidays, people's attitudes are a lot nicer. They say 'Have a nice Thanksgiving' and that just makes you feel good."

Golden Shores, Arizona
"It's nice and quiet and it gives people a secure feeling that someone out there is looking over them. They always seem to be afraid to call 911 on a holiday, thinking no one will be here."

1:30 p.m. Janet Bokan, Restaurant Owner
Oatman, Arizona
"I like to cook a nice Thanksgiving dinner here at the Mission Inn. My family usually comes in from New York and they help out - that's my son behind the bar. People are far from home and traveling and I like giving them a good, warm meal."

2:05 p.m. Bill Lauchlan, Restaurant Manager
Needles, California.
"Today doesn't mean much to me - I was born in Scotland and was raised in England - but I close at two so my family can celebrate."
