I love these small towns, so many memories, growing up my family would take a vacation every summer and we stayed in plenty of these mom and pop motels as well as motor lodges... The interstate systems are both a good and bad thing, it's must easier to travel across the country now but it took the culture of America away as well as kill thousands of small towns by bypassing them...... I'm a little older than you Randy, I graduated in 1976 with about 150 other classmates..... Thanks again for bringing us along for the ride
Hi KajunGuy, The good news is that some of these small towns on these historic routes are trying to the keep the spirit of the good ole days. Have a great week!
Hey, Randy, you're around my old stompin' grounds! Lived in Prescott but spent time in Ash fork and Seligman. We bought TONS of flagstone from there and built walks, patios and even floors in houses. Knew a family who were sheep ranchers at Williams. Thanks for the visit, its been 20+ years since ive been up there. Oh, BTW, the Grand Canyon Caverns on old 66 is a great place to visit also. Awesome! Cheers.
Hi Craig, Even though my time in Ashfork was short, it had a impact. Thank you for letting me know about the Grand Canyon Caverns. I'll check it out. Have a great week!
Thanks Randy-I have thru Ashfork numerous times. I always take 66 when traveling the area. I'm 75 and remember traveling with my parents from Cal. To Colorado. Keep up the good work! P.s. i subscribed.
Hi John, I will alway remember my time living in Ashfork. It hasn't changed much from the mid 80s. Sounds like you have some good memories of family travels. Thank you for sharing and the subscription! Have a wonderful day!
Hi Dan, I always hope that someone will spend the money to restore history like that. Hopefully Ashfork will work on the route 66 theme like Seligman has. Have a great week!
Hi Karen, at the end of the video is where I show it. It was a couple miles out of town and had a restaurant that only partially standing and some old motel rooms. Have a great week and see ya on the next one.
Hi Andy, My dad worked for Ramsey Towing, I can't remember if the property with the cafe was Ted's or not, that does ring a bell though. Have a great week!
@SeabeeTraveler There was a Ted's in both Quartzsite and in Ash Fork where the new truck stop is. I have been in heavy towing in Arizona myself since 1984, likley met your Dad.

Hi Jose, Thank you for the kind words. Have a good week!
I remember the town I lived in the 60's. Basicly like yours. What a change 40 years later. 😊
Hi Phillip, I always enjoy visiting some of the small towns to see how they've changed. Some for the good and some not so good. Have a good day!
That place is tiny. Thanks for sharing!
You're Welcome! See on the next one.
Lived in Ash Fork for about 20 years.

I wonder if anyone will want to renovate that old Motel?

You didn't show us the house you lived in at Ash Fort.

So your family went from Quartzsite to Ash Fork . . . Must have had something to do with Ted's Truck Stops?
