This Photo downtown Apache Junction 1960 construction of the Superstition Ho
Hotel. The sign reads the $2,000,000.00 Superstition Ho Hotel opening July 1,
1960. The other reads Chanen Construction Company, the smaller reads Phoenix
Surety Title Co. You can hardly see it but the far left is the Apache Trail
Marker with the prospector and mule on top. The Trail is still the most popular
place to take visitors.
The Lost Dutchman Gold Route marker
Dedicated October 1961 to the memory of Jacob von Waltzer 1806 -1891
better known by many as The Lost Dutchman. You can see part of the Superstition
Ho Sign.
The 1959 Apache Junction Burro Derby about a 20 mile hike around
the Superstition Mountain. My father Elmer had silver dollar sized
blisters, but he still made it with a smile. The Elson's Apache Building Supply,
where he was employed, sponsered him.
