  • This day I went to do a #citytour in #apachejunctionaz and I found a #horserescue This was an amazing adventure and awesome to see what Apache Junction Arizona is really like. I learned a lot and I think anyone wanting to get a real feel on a true Southwest AZ town and culture is like... you will definitely get that here. I'm hoping that lots of people go to this Horse Rescue in Arizona and help where you can. Enjoy! This is one of my favorite vlogs.

Everywhere we looked was soo diverse and everyone saw each other as a person and not by the color of their skin or what language that they spoke . It was never a thought . You just lived and let live !! Mind your business and keep yourself in check !!! Life is good 👍 😊

    Yep. You have a new subscriber. 1)You have the kindest eyes. And 2)to take and show interest in that horse rescue, when it’s probably something that has never been on your radar, is what makes you such a special person. You’re drawn to other acts of kindness and compassion. I tell you what. Admittedly I’ve only watched two videos so far but I am already a huge fan. I wish you much success in whatever you do. I hope those in your life realize how fortunate they are to be a part of your world. Much love!!!!!!!!

    Years ago AJ was an outlaw town. Pretty ruff place. I love it because everything is so close, you don't have to pack a lunch to drive to pay bills, Drs. Appointments etc. In Gold Canyon there are some interesting hiking trails, like the Hydroglyph trails which is a easy to moderate trail into, I guess you would call it, the back or side of the Superstitions. Back there towards the end there is a small waterfall and small pool. Of course with this drought probably no water. You can see the hyroglyphs. So amazing that native Americans lived and hunted in that mountain. A rugged group of people. My hat's off to them.

    AJ. Known for tweakers and trailer parks. It's just not like that. My family started buying property out here in the late 40's. I live here now. My husband and kids love it and so do I. AJ has grown. And it's outgrown it's bad reputation. The residents are kind, caring and neighborly. The winter visitors boost the economy and the local politicians seem to be taking the growth and needs of the residents seriously. I'm not going to say the schools are great, as they score very low. But I will say how impressed I am with how this district has handled education during the covid crisis. We were one of the first to have a good, functional online learning platform for our kids. This is a great town with really great residents. It's a big small town and I love that we're able to keep the western flavour.

    We have lived in Apache Junction since Sept 2014. I tell you after moving here from Texas we questioned our choice in buying a house here. There was strange people that looked like they was on drugs, lots of homeless everywhere. We didn’t know anything about AJ. Its has changed. Its is a nice place to live now. Not as much strange people around. Were moving back to Texas and we have no regrets. Thanks for the tour of the horses. What a great place and a great cause for the horses.
