Welcome to AZFJ!

Welcome to the official unofficial web page for the AZFJ's, a random collection of people
who have agreed, by tacit consent, not to abide by any principles of governance. We
are not a "club", a "group" or an "organization".

Bound together by an entirely arbitrary bond, our unusual capacity for cooperation and
collective benevolence is a random stroke of luck. That we function at all is a feat.

Without label, and in defiance of categorization, the thing itself remains, barely able to
retain it's own name. It is to be beheld without being described. It is what it is.

news Join AZFJ in the Salt River Clean-up September 13, 2008

As one of the busiest recreation spots on the Tonto National Forest, the Lower Salt River Recreation Area hosts thousands of visitors every summer weekend. Unfortunately, many of these visitors leave their trash behind, creating an unsightly and dangerous mess.

To help restore this stretch of water back to its natural beauty in celebration of National Public Lands Day, the Mesa Ranger District, Tonto National Forest, will host the 29th Annual Salt River Clean-up on Saturday, September 13, 2008, 8 am – 2 pm..



Join AZFJ in a day of service as our non-members head out to help with the clean-up. Trash bags, parking and lunch will be provided by the Forest Service. After the clean-up the fun begins with a trail run and camp-out.
