    Great video. Love old history like this. Especially Route 66 stuff. The audio was a bit off though when interviewing the woman. Thumbs up. 👍

      @@TaliWhoo I don’t use a phone for audio I have wireless mics I take on the road. I just only have 2 and both Ron and I had 1 each so that’s why I was holding the mic trying to interview her but then there was a huge fan blowing right next to us that’s why it was hard to hear.

    I enjoyed your presentation. Good Job. Check this out.. My mom and dad lived in Ash Fork for 21 years. Moved there in 1947. Dad was a teacher in the high school. I lived there my first six years. We moved away in 1968. By then, dad was a School administrator, and he volunteered for the fire dept. My childhood memories of Ash Fork are great. That was when 66 still went right through town, and before most of the business district burned down. My dad was Frank (Doc) Glotfelty.

    To me, it's doubtful that Ash Fork will ever recover. Those lot prices (that's what they are; the buildings are beyond recovering) are way too high. No septic system and water is in short supply in Ash Fork. But, nobody wants to take "the hit" and consequently don't get sold.

      Yeah that’s unfortunately true. The prices in the town for real estate are unreasonable. Thanks for watching

      As it turns out, as a result of this video, Yavapai County officials have started looking into revitalizing Ash Fork and bringing them much needed infrastructure! I’ve been in contact with a man who works at the county, and he says his office has become very invested since the video came out. We’ll see how it goes!

    some of the problems with ash fork goes back to three family's running the do and dont for the town for many years . things are changing. another problem is the post office is to small and the new one has not even broken ground yet. they need a market in town as well. you have to remember there were many brothels in town back in the day. you review is okay there is a lot you missed but so be it
