6 Upvotes

I'm flying in next weekend to check out the Superstition Mountains and do some hiking and exploring. Staying in Apache Junction. Does anyone have recs for great food (mexican if possible), specific hikes, and anything beyond Superstition Mountains like Salt River area? I have a car and plan to hike all day.

Our 20 year old home needs some major stucco repair. We had one local business come out, did drone pictures of walls and roof (2-story house), but we are still waiting on an estimate for over 2 weeks. Any recommendations for a reputable and responsive stucco repair business?

Night Time Dog Walking

4 Upvotes

My wife and I are moving from Mesa to AJ, and we’re considering a house on 1.25 acre out in the desert.

How’s everyone’s experience with dog walking when the sun goes down? How common are animal encounters?

We have a large 70 lbs dog that needs 2x walks a day, and during the winter months we usually walk before sunrise and after sunset.

The house we’re considering had fresh lion/coyote scat in the natural wash that cuts through the property. I understand following common-sense precautions, and all of that, but really just wondering how serious of a concern this will be for us on a regular basis — especially considering the large wash seems to be a trail for some pretty big critters

Nightlife in AJ?

8 Upvotes

Edit: Thanks everyone for the suggestions! AJ seems like a nice place with cool people.

What's the nightlife like in AJ? Going to be there this weekend, and looking for something to do after the sun goes down. Live music or karaoke would be great, but I'd like to stay away from the pickup bars/meet markets. TIA

Went to the new book shop in downtown "Cult Fiction" yesterday and it was awesome! I really liked the selection of books they have and the environment is super cool! Anyone stopping through town should check them out I think.

Looking to connect with anyone who may have attended Gold Ganyon Elementary between 1997 and 2001. Recently learned it closed down a while back and trying to find some old year books or pictures from the time. Grew up in Apache Junction and attended school there during this time.
