Stop Living with Pain

Get the answers you need - and save money.

Walk it off. Suck it up. No pain, no gain.

We’ve been taught to ignore pain. Or that pain is good. Why? Pain is our body’s warning siren, alerting us to a problem. Instead of writing it off, we should be listening to it.

Even mild discomfort can impact our quality of life—distracting us during a meeting or our kid’s football game. It doesn’t have to be that way. Understanding the cause of your pain is the first step toward getting back to the important things in life.

Touchstone Medical Imaging uses diagnostic imaging to see what’s happening inside your body. With 11 convenient locations throughout the metro Denver area, we offer extended hours and weekend appointments, making imaging convenient for your schedule.

Touchstone is in-network with 99 percent of health insurance plans and costs up to 60 percent less than hospitals, making it easy to get the answers you and your doctor need to build your treatment plan.

We help physicians diagnose everything from concussions to cancer.

“What we can see with imaging helps us understand the problem and determine a reasonable solution for patients.” says Dr. Mark Levandovsky, who refers patients to Touchstone. “Ninety percent of what happens to us is modifiable. It’s within our control and power to change.”

Touchstone’s patient-centric approach goes beyond your appointment by providing access to your radiology report with an interactive interface including medical explanation and anatomical diagrams in patient friendly language to help you easily understand your results, which empowers you to have a more active conversation with your doctor about your health and treatment plan.

You have a choice where you receive your diagnostic imaging. Choose you. See what’s inside.

Celebrating our incredible care team.

Helping our patients live their lives to the fullest is our common goal at OrthoColorado Hospital. It’s what inspires us to bring excellence and compassion to patient care every day. We’re proud to recognize our team members as top-tier care providers in the region.

Superlative Spots

There’s a gorgeous, foamy little fishing hole on the Arkansas River just north of U.S. 285 before you get to Buena Vista. At about 11,700 feet in elevation, at a small bend in the trail that leads up 14,012-foot Huron Peak, a spectacular vista of the Three Apostles comes into view. And in the American Basin, bunched along the east side of the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, is a patch of blue columbines so immense that you can’t see where the blossoms end. These mental snapshots immediately popped into my mind when 5280 senior editor Nicholas Hunt asked me to describe some of Colorado’s exceptional locales.

Although the Centennial State is known the world over for its sweeping panoramas of skyscraping peaks, it’s rarely those big, blown-open, madefor-a-postcard settings that Coloradans conjure when asked about their most beloved outdoor spaces. Instead, they wax poetic about microsites: the sensation of skiing untracked powder on a certain portion of a gladed run, the smell of sun-warmed pine needles on a wooded path in the foothills, the Monet-like quality of an alpine

meadow painted with wildflowers. With that truism in mind, Hunt asked local writers and outdoor recreation pros to disclose—without giving away exact locations, in many cases—their personal Shangri-las around the state. The result is this month’s “The Perfect Place…” (page 48), an ode to 14 magical spots you won’t find marked on Google Maps. “This story was really an excuse to fill out my own bucket list of Colorado’s must-see spots,” Hunt says, “but turnabout is fair play, so I contributed an ode to my favorite few dozen feet of mountain bike trail as well.”

While you might be able to pinpoint these locations if you look for them in real life, that’s not really the point. As Hunt said to me, “These are objectively amazing places, but one person’s perfect place may not be another’s.” In other words, to each their own. We just hope this story encourages you to get outside this month and find the special places that speak to you.

For more than 10 years, Fort Collins–based photographer Aaron Colussi has been taking beautiful photographs for the pages of 5280. Colussi has captured everything from stunning mountain homes to the charcoal-smudged faces of wildland firefighters to a Mexicaninspired feast celebrating fall’s bounty. For this issue, Colussi pulled triple duty: Not only did he provide images for “The Perfect Place…” (page 48) and contribute a piece about rock climbing for that feature, but he also headed about 45 minutes east of his home to photograph portraits for “The Charming, Eccentric, Blessed Life Of Lee Maxwell” (page 66), a profile of the 94-year-old owner of the world’s largest collection of antique washing machines. The piece is about more than a museum full of Maytags, though, and Colussi used his candid style of photography to illuminate personalities, hint at the article’s subtler story lines, and deliver some visual soul to a poignant narrative. Of course, that’s not always easy, even when the subject is compelling. “The challenge was which of the many backdrops to use,” Colussi says. “Lee’s museum has so many little nooks that are amazing locations. I was just trying to pick the right one.”

Around The Bend

As one of the country’s only Olympic-size, banked-oval cycling racetracks, the Boulder Valley Velodrome (BVV) should have cemented the Front Range’s status as a cycling destination in 2013, when it was slated to host its first riders. Instead, the south Erie venue suffered a string of setbacks, including a windstorm and flood that all but destroyed the place before construction was finished. Then, just three years after the track finally opened in 2015, the owners put the venue up for sale. After several buyers fell through, the velodrome closed for the season in fall 2019 and never reopened because of the pandemic. Boards rotted, paint flaked, and by 2023, the BVV looked more like an abandoned amusement park ride than a world-class sports venue. That’s when local cyclist Todd Stevenson stepped in to save it. “There was a realization that, if something didn’t happen, the track was going to go away,” Stevenson says. Team Colorado Cycling, Stevenson’s nonprofit youth race team, and six other parties combined to make a successful bid, and after $100,000 in repairs, the now nonprofit facility hosted its grand reopening party a year ago this month. While its size and high elevation attract world-champion-caliber cyclists, BVV also offers three levels of certification classes designed to take riders from never pedaling in a velodrome before to racing in one. The welcoming culture is essential: With more than $8,000 worth of paint required to cover the track’s 16,000-square-foot surface, even basic upkeep is expensive. “We need riders, and we need volunteers,” Stevenson says. “That’s what’s going to sustain this place.” —NICHOLAS HUNT

Older And Bolder

As the site of the Rocky Mountains’ first documented gold strike, Arvada has yielded treasures for more than a century. To celebrate the city’s 120th birthday this month, we mined these five events, shops, and bars to offer you a mix of old and new gems. —NH

1 The Arvada Tavern

5707 OLDE WADSWORTH BLVD.

On April 7, 1933, just months after the repeal of Prohibition in the state, the Arvada Tavern received the city’s first-ever alcohol license. The local watering hole has since transformed into an upscale bar with elevated pub fare such as walnut-crusted salmon and a mother lode of craft cocktails like the Smoke & Mirrors (rye and peated whiskeys, Cardamaro, bénédictine, honey syrup, and cocoa and Angostura bitters).

If you crave Prohibition-style boozing, however, step through the indoor telephone booth to enter Bernard’s Tiki Room, a rum-soaked speakeasy that opened in 2023.

2 Outside The Box / Outside The Box Too!

5760 OLDE WADSWORTH BLVD., UNITS A AND E

Co-founded in 2022 by former CBS4 meteorologist Chris Spears, Outside the Box is an eclectic shop in the heart of Olde Town Arvada—or rather eclectic shops. The first retail store proved so popular that Spears and his partner opened another location in the same building this past April. Where the original has curated gifts such as postcards, artisanal soaps, and heirloom seed collections, the new spot concentrates on home goods, including flowerpots shaped like twinkle-eyed gnomes.

3 Electric Cherry Shop & Studios

5777 OLDE WADSWORTH BLVD., SUITE R200

Owner Ally Skiba inherited her love of

vinyl from her grandfather, who pressed albums at Specialty Records in Scranton, Pennsylvania. But if you don’t share her passion for analog, don’t worry. Electric Cherry’s vintage clothing rack, classic Playboy issues, and local artwork will keep you entertained while your audiophile partner peruses the four-year-old record store’s sections of new, used, and collector-worthy albums.

4 Odyssey Beerwerks

5535 W. 56TH AVE., SUITE 107

You’ll find this award-winning brewery just down the street from Arvada’s Gold Strike Park, where, in 1850, a prospector from Georgia named Lewis Ralston first panned the precious metal from the stream that now bears his name. Odyssey pays tribute to that history with the tart Ralston Creek radler, which pairs a light lager with bright grapefruit juice, while the brewery’s RTD (Ready To Drink) IPA and easy-sipping I-70 Colorado Pilsner honor modern local icons.

5 Arvada Days

CLEAR CREEK VALLEY PARK

With bounce houses, train rides, magic shows, and a new Nerf zone, this year’s Arvada Days (August 24) will be the birthday party we all wished we could have attended as kids. But the adults among us can celebrate, too, by dancing to live music, browsing vendors, and sipping a pint or two at the beer garden, which benefits the Ralston House Child Advocacy Center. The best part? You don’t have to bring a gift.

It’s All

In The Delivery

Rates of overdoses in pregnant and postpartum patients are surging. The University of Colorado College of Nursing hopes to produce solutions.

After witnessing her parents suffer from addiction, Felicia Gonsalez swore she’d never touch drugs. But when her 18-year-long marriage ended in a difficult divorce, Gonsalez began dating a man who struggled with substance use and soon found herself using opioids. Within a matter of months, she lost her job, her house, and her car to her addiction. The then Pueblo resident tried to recover dozens of times over the next three and a half years, but it wasn’t until after Gonsalez gave birth to her third child in 2021 that she admitted herself into a rehabilitation program. She’s been sober ever since.

Other expectant and new moms have had a more difficult time overcoming addiction. According to a 2023 Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment report, accidental overdoses are the second-leading cause of death among pregnant women in the Centennial State, behind suicide, and in a 2023 JAMA Psychiatry study, researchers found that overdose rates in pregnant and postpartum patients older than 35 tripled nationwide between 2018 and 2021. While the reasons for the increase are unknown, the paper’s authors noted that the stigma surrounding addiction could prevent patients from seeking help.

In January 2023, the University of Colorado College of Nursing responded to this growing crisis by launching an initiative that delivers no-cost, judgment-free assistance directly to new and future moms in the Denver metro area. The Recovery Coach Doula Program employs caregivers who themselves have survived substance use. Like traditional doulas, they prepare women for

childbirth and support them during labor, but they also have another duty: to advocate for their patients’ specific needs. Gonsalez, who trained as a doula after becoming sober and joined the program’s staff this past February, recalls a recent delivery in which the nurses blamed withdrawal medication for her client’s high blood pressure. It was Gonsalez who realized the two were unrelated. “These moms already have so much guilt,” she says. “It’s our job to speak up for them.”

Care continues after birth with Gonsalez and Britt Westmoreland, the program’s coordinator and only other doula, helping mothers manage their addictions by connecting them with recovery resources, providing emotional aid, and making sure their patients have access to

“It’s our job to speak up for them.”

support groups for 12 months after delivering. That time frame is key. Patients who suffer from addiction see increased rates of overdoses for up to a year following birth, but “in a typical medical setting,” Westmoreland says, “postpartum mothers get one checkup six weeks after birth, and that’s it.”

After a successful first year that saw Gonsalez and Westmoreland assist some 40 mothers, the program is in the process of expanding to Pueblo, where drug overdose rates nearly tripled between 2001 and 2016. But until CU has the funds to hire more doulas, the pair will mostly offer virtual support there. In the meantime, they’ve partnered with Pueblo-based health care teams who attend patient deliveries on their behalf. “I always tell my clients, ‘I wish I had a me when I was going through my addiction,’ ” Gonsalez says. “It’s nice to have support and resources that you don’t know how to get when you’re in such a dark place.”

Amped Up

When it comes to Colorado venues, Red Rocks Amphitheatre is the undisputed headliner. But the developers of the Ford Amphitheater, opening this month in Colorado Springs, believe their coliseum’s modern luxuries are the future of live music. Will those concert comforts steal Red Rocks’ spotlight? We scoured each spot’s liner notes to find out.

—SPENCER CAMPBELL

FORD AMPHITHEATER

In 2016, Colorado Springs food magnate JW Roth hit play on Venu, a real estate development company that aims to elevate the live music experience (think: comfier seats, high-end eats and drinks). The Springsbased outfit has opened locations in its hometown and in Georgia, but the $90 million Ford Amphitheater will be its biggest venture yet.

For $250,000, the Ford will sell you one of its firepit suites, or you can lease one for 99 years for a one-time fee of $200,000. While the latter’s price tag doesn’t include admission, owners can snag up to eight tickets per show for $25 apiece. Sound expensive? Others didn’t think so: Both options are already sold out.

At the Ford, the audience faces the mountains so that Pikes Peak towers over the performers, and the Air Force Academy’s Cadet Chapel looms to the right.

You don’t have to wait for a show to score a table at Roth’s Seafood & Chophouse, a full-service establishment modeled on the old-school charm of Keens (Roth’s favorite New York City steakhouse).

Colorado Springs’ hometown pop band OneRepublic opens the Ford with a three-night run starting on August 9. From $120

RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE

After making the heavens and the Earth, God carved the world’s only naturally perfect amphitheater in Morrison. (OK, the Civilian Conservation Corps helped a little by leveling the terrain between Ship and Creation rocks in the 1930s to make way for seats and a stage.)

Every seat is the same: two pieces of lumber and sandstone. Unless, that is, you score one of the dozens of planter boxes that flank the venue. They’re not luxurious, but they are elevated enough to give you an unobstructed view of the band.

Perched high above Denver, Red Rocks seems to survey the entire Eastern Plains—a vast expanse interrupted only by downtown’s illuminated skyscrapers.

Except for afternoons on show days, the venue is open to the public, and locals take advantage of the access to gas themselves by sprinting up its 70 rows.

Folk-blues outfit Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats plays Red Rocks on August 20 and 21—a regular appearance the Denver band has called “the most important nights of our year.” From $65

Twelve million years ago, several hundred large, prehistoric animals gathered around a watering hole in what is now Nebraska, where they were killed by a cloud of ashes from a volcanic eruption. Their fossilized remains have been waiting patiently for you ever since, in the Ashfall Fossil Beds. We know this won’t interest everyone. But some of you (and you know who you are) will be fascinated. So go to VisitNebraska.com for a free Travel Guide. Don’t keep us waiting any longer.

A League Of Their Own

After a wildly successful pilot program, Colorado is making high school girls flag football an official sport.

A public service announcement to defensive backs this fall: If you spy wide receiver Sara Walker running a short curl route, don’t bite. She’s probably going long. The fake-out is one of Arvada West High School quarterback Saylor Swanson’s favorite plays. “It pretty much gets the defender every time,” says the reigning female Colorado High School Football Player of the Year. “Also, it’s always fun to throw a deep ball.”

Listed at 6 feet, Walker is great at snagging balls over cornerbacks’ outstretched arms. Opposing receivers, however, can’t say the same when she’s on defense.

In fall 2022, the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) launched a two-year flag football pilot program that saw nearly 1,400 girls from 52 schools participate last year. Despite that competition, Swanson led the Wildcats to a 25-0 campaign and a state title in 2023, and starting this month, she’ll have the chance to repeat after the CHSAA fully sanctioned the sport in April. When the season begins, 64 schools will hit the gridiron. “I can see those numbers expanding even more—an additional 30, 40, 60 schools by year two,” says Justin Saylor, CHSAA assistant commissioner.

Colorado’s roster numbers reflect a nationwide trend. Half a million girls played flag football last year, a 63 percent increase since 2019 that was due, in part, to a lower barrier of entry: Before flag football, girls interested in ball sports during the fall could only choose among field hockey, softball, and volleyball—pastimes athletes typically start playing at a young age. “Now, we have this new sport that nobody has played,” CHSAA’s Saylor says. “Everyone is at the same place, and that intimidation factor is gone.” Already, 17 universities in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, which serves smaller educational institutions than the National Collegiate Athletic Conference (NCAA), field women’s flag football teams. The NCAA’s Division III Atlantic East Conference plans to offer women’s flag football by 2025.

LACEY ABELL QUARTERBACK, MILE HIGH CLUB

In May, the field general of the National Gay Flag Football League’s Denverbased Mile High Club was named to the U.S. Women’s Flag National Team, which will compete at the Olympics in 2028.

With flag making its Olympic debut in Los Angeles in 2028, there’s more incentive than ever for girls like Swanson— who’s still undecided between playing football or basketball at the next level— to pursue the sport collegiately. But right now, Swanson is just excited for her senior season, when new rules, including a larger, 40-yard by 80-yard field, should help open up the offense—as if she needs another reason to go deep.

Back In Action

Domo, which reopened in late 2023, dishes northern Japanese cuisine to diners who are willing to take things slow. —ALLYSON REEDY

Denverites have mourned the closure of one of the city’s most charming Japanese eateries multiple times. Domo Japanese Country Foods Restaurant, housed in a custom-built farmhouse just blocks from West Colfax Avenue, shuttered for a few months at the onset of the pandemic. Then it lived an on-again, off-again existence from early 2022 through late 2023 after a viral TikTok video in summer 2021 showing the restaurant’s interior and garden resulted in more attention

than the small business could handle. But chef-owner Gaku Homma turned Domo’s stoves back on this past fall—hopefully for good—with plans to reintroduce his brand of Japanese fare to diners who’ve been swimming in Denver’s endless sea of nigiri-slinging hot spots.

Homma, 74, has helmed Domo’s kitchen since the venue opened in 1996, and he’s also responsible for creating the eatery’s Zenlike ambience, inside and out. Homma transported almost all of the mingu (everyday tools

and objects) that decorate the rustic restaurant from his native Japan, including fans, bottles, abacuses, and dishes. Large sections of a more than 200-year-old cottonwood tree, flagstone tabletops, and thatched roof are among the many features and materials salvaged from the property’s construction process or other places in and around Denver (think: City Park and a junkyard). The beautiful garden, where patrons can dine alfresco, has a stream, bridge, and cherry trees.

The result is an atmosphere that is much more Japanese countryside than Tokyo, and the food befits the setting. This isn’t another trendy izakaya serving inventive dumplings and

gussied-up sushi rolls with names like Orgasm and Dynamite. Domo’s menu is instead full of the specialties Homma grew up eating in Akita: curry, dipping udon noodles, okoge, and katsudon.

Japanese curry has been on the menu since day one. Recipes vary across the country, and Homma makes a northern Japanese style by cooking down ginger, chile paste, garlic, and curry powder for 30 minutes and letting it sit for three hours. Creamy, rich, and loaded with potatoes, carrots, and the protein of your choice, the stew is soothing and mild in flavor. It dances between sweet and savory depending on where it tickles your tongue.

That curry is even better when deployed in the nanban udon, where soft, slick noodles, ribbons of cabbage and seaweed, and chunks of chicken thighs swim in a curry-tinged dashi. Dashi—a soup stock so complex and umami-packed that it’s considered the heart of Japanese cuisine—is the foundation for most of Domo’s dishes. Like the restaurant, dashi is not loud on its own but is subtly powerful, enhancing the beauty and flavor of the ingredients it supports, including those in the fragrant bowl of noodles I eagerly slurped up.

I also reveled in the flavors of the beef okoge, a generous pyramid of thinly sliced beef, red bell peppers, onions, and zucchini in a soy-, sake-, and mirin-based sauce set atop burnt rice. I couldn’t stop eating the peppery beef in that just-sweet-enough sauce—Homma says apples are the secret ingredient—but I wished the burnt rice was more, well, burnt. Flattened and grilled on both sides, the exterior was chewy rather than crispy.

Domo does offer raw fish dishes, but Denverites won’t find plates of sushi rolls here. Instead, they can dive into something different, such as the salmon namasu appetizer, a refreshing starter that comes with four chunks of sugar- and salt-cured salmon nestled inside a salad of thinly sliced, pickled daikon. The sweet tang of the rice vinegar is lovely with the generous bites of salmon. The restaurant has sashimi, too, but the six giant pieces of raw tuna or salmon are a thicker cut than the

meager slivers most restaurants serve, and they rest on one massive mound of rice. Everything is gently seasoned with mild chile sauce and sharp ginger, and the dish tastes like a brighter and fresher riff on a poke bowl.

My biggest quibble with Domo is that service can be slow. Because Homma has a small staff, there’s a good chance you’ll have to flag someone down to order tea or bring the check, so it isn’t the place to hit if you’re on the clock for lunch. It also closes early for dinner—7 p.m., as of press time—so be sure you stop in on the early side.

Then again, the pace is part of the serene, unhurried charm. The restaurant represents the tranquil countryside, not the hustle and bustle of a 24-hour city. For 27 years, Homma has given us his take on Japanese food at a sanctuary in the heart of Denver. What he offers may be unfamiliar, but maybe that’s exactly what we need.

GREAT ESCAPES

Ticket to: THE MOUNTAINS

Golden’s Sherpa House isn’t just a Himalayan restaurant; it’s also a cultural center, which means you’ll get a side of history with your yak vindaloo. From the colorful textiles to the huge collection of traditional cookware to the prayer flags, the decor makes eating here feel like you’re breaking naan in a real-life Tibetan sherpa house.

Ticket to: THE WOODS

For a taste of the great outdoors without leaving city limits, head to the wilderness-inspired patio at LoHi’s Forest Room 5. The bar’s babbling brook, firepits, and plethora of foliage give off serious (car) camping vibes—but the spicy pineapple jalapeño margs are way better than the ones your friends make in their RV.

Bottoms Up

As she began yet another meeting with yet another venture capitalist, Denverite Kristin Taylor took a deep breath, looked her mark in the eye, and launched into the pitch she had spent months perfecting: Under the branding of Mom Juice, Taylor and her co-founder, Macie Mincey, would make low-sugar, affordable, delicious wine with minimal ingredients, all of which would be clearly listed on the label. They would market it to consumers sensitive to gluten (or any of the 40-plus undisclosed ingredients and additives in many mainstream wines); to new mothers with nursing-induced dietary restrictions; and to anyone looking to pick up a cute gift for Mom. As millennial women of color, Taylor and Mincey would ensure their product appealed to young, diverse populations that the industry, with its pretentious sniff-andswirl culture, had long ignored. When Taylor finished her spiel, the potential investor didn’t inquire about the company’s profit margins or advertising plan. Instead, he asked, “What about Dad Juice?”

“We pitch to a lot of old white guys,” Taylor says, “and that’s the number one question they bring up. What are you doing for men? ” Taylor and Mincey can support their demographic target with statistics (women in America control or influence 85 percent of all consumer spending) and proven demand: Following the late 2021 release of its first wine, a Pinot Grigio, Mom Juice did $98,000 in sales over the following year on a marketing budget of less than $4,000, Taylor says. Still, investors seemed wary of backing a product with an intended audience as narrow as mothers (and anyone who has a mother). “ ‘Moms are a niche.’ That’s always what we hear, which is crazy,” says Mincey, who lives in Charlotte, North Carolina. “If people don’t believe in marketing to women, then they’re not the investor for us.”

Thanks in part to high-grossing pop culture successes such as 2023’s Barbie movie and Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, projects catering to female audiences are increasingly being seen as bankable, and by mid-summer 2024, Mom Juice had raised nearly a million dollars

(including a $20,000 prize from Pharrell Williams’ Black Ambition fund).

and CEO of Denver’s Point Solutions Group, a cybersecurity systems integration firm. She’s also an angel investor who’s provided capital to more than 20 mostly women-led companies, including Mom Juice. “I met Kristin and I was like, Well, she’s gonna pretty much do anything she wants.”

What Taylor wants next is a lead investor to write a big fat check, an act that would spur others to do the same through a new round of funding. That money would underwrite Mom Juice’s larger ambition to create more products, including a nonalcoholic wine, and secure shelf space in retailers across the nation. But even putting aside the historical disadvantages facing people who look like Taylor and Mincey (in 2022, women founders received less than two percent of investment dollars in the United States, and women of color got just 0.39 percent), now is a tough time for anyone to raise money in Colorado, Goss says. Not enough of the homegrown businesses that received lots of investment during the pandemic have gone public or been acquired, which means money isn’t flowing back to angels or VCs. “We’re all cash-strapped,” Goss says, adding that uncertainty around this fall’s presidential election is also creating hesitancy to invest.

Over the first half of this year, Mom Juice went through the due diligence process with multiple Denver VC firms. Again and again, Taylor says, they were told that they had passed the vetting requirements and that investors loved the product, but no one was willing to sign a deal. “What we’re seeing is everyone [talking about] women in venture funding. We should get women more funding. We should fund more businesses that are profitable. We should fund Black women,” Taylor says. “But when it comes to doing the work, no one wants to actually do that part. I need someone to step up.”

WHEN THE PANDEMIC HIT,

Taylor worked for DISH Network’s in-house creative agency. After going remote, she found she had time to take on freelance marketing and branding consulting gigs, one of which was launching the Guilty Grape, a Black- and womanowned wine brand based in Dallas. Taylor’s proficiency and passion for the project had colleagues and friends asking why she didn’t start her own wine business.

“I told my boyfriend about it over a glass of wine in the kitchen, and he was like, Well, you obviously can’t do it; you’re too scared, and you don’t want to be in the spotlight,” Taylor says.

“My boyfriend is in mental health. So I realize now that he was using reverse psychology. Back then, I literally said, ‘Fuck you. Yes, I can.’ ”

While growing up in Virginia, Taylor watched her mother—a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy—bring home wines from around the world. A childhood trip to Italy reinforced Taylor’s appreciation for a culture that prioritizes gathering to break bread and clink glasses. As an adult, however, she quickly realized many of the wines she was consuming did not love her back. “I’m gluten-free. I also have some of the fun female things, like endometriosis, and all of that really affects your diet and how you process food,” Taylor says. “Additives are really hard for me.”

So when she started dreaming up what her wine brand would look like, Taylor thought about how difficult it was to find out what was in the bottles she saw on liquor and grocery store shelves. The U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, which regulates wine, doesn’t currently require boozemakers to list ingredients, although it’s widely speculated that it may soon.

If that happens, Mom Juice will be ahead of the rules. Taylor has insisted on including everything that goes into the brand’s bottles—eight

or fewer ingredients and additives, compared with the dozens of mystery components beyond grapes that are commonly used to flavor, clarify, and stabilize wines—on her labels from the beginning. “[Listing ingredients] is very rare for wine,” says Brian Kosi, Mom Juice’s Napabased director of winemaking, who previously worked for big-name Sonoma County brands Kendall-Jackson Wine Estate & Gardens and Kenwood Vineyards. “You don’t see it. But I thought it was a brilliant direction, for moms or just anyone who wants to keep their bodies clean.”

The term “clean” doesn’t have an official industry definition, but consumers have started using it to describe lower-sugar, lower-calorie wines. “We want to make sure it’s clean in terms of allergens—no animal products, no gluten, no dairy,” Kosi says. “Those are things I have in my toolbox, but now, with Mom Juice, I don’t use them.” In alignment with Taylor’s vision, Kosi sources most of Mom Juice’s unfinished wine from women-run vineyards (including in California’s Lake County, although the brand is in talks to do a line with the Western Slope’s Sauvage Spectrum). He also balances quality with pricing—$20 to $24 per screw-top bottle—that middle-class moms can afford.

“There aren’t many women winemakers or wine producers out there. [Taylor and Mincey’s] enthusiasm and just their go-get-’em attitude—I was like, I’m in. I’m hooked,” Kosi says. Hooking real moms on the brand, however, proved to be trickier than Taylor and Mincey anticipated.

ALTHOUGH MOM JUICE’S commitment to transparency is what sets its wines apart, Taylor knows it’s not the ingredient list on the label that catches shoppers’ eyes, but the name. “It came from listening to my friends,” says Taylor, who does not have children. “You know, baby reaches for a glass of wine and everyone goes, ‘That’s your mom’s juice, don’t touch that!’ People say it all the time, and I thought it would be fun.” When Taylor first contacted Mincey, a seasoned tech entrepreneur she’d met at a blind business lunch date in Charlotte, for consulting help in launching her brand, Mincey liked the idea so much she asked if Taylor would consider bringing her on as a co-founder.

Together, they began crafting marketing materials that spoke directly to women and reflected the realities of the day-to-day lives of moms. The vibe would be youthful,

approachable, and a little sassy. They soon discovered that there is a fine line between the seemingly innocent suggestion that moms deserve to relax with a glass of Pinot after a long day of breaking up sibling fights and the darker side (think: Chardonnay hidden in a Yeti cup) of mommy drinking culture.

“I was always taught that you should drink wine because you like the taste of it, but I realized that we were stepping into something else, and we had to really adjust fast,” Taylor says. “How do we nurture community without promoting this very unhealthy form of drinking?” For help, she turned to a website and brand design Facebook group of thousands of women she was a part of and made a post asking them to tear Mom Juice apart.

“Tell me what feels triggering. Tell me what doesn’t feel right. This is my intention. Tell me what’s not coming off correctly,” Taylor says, recalling the ask she made that day. “We had 77 comments in about three hours.”

Although some women objected to the branding wholesale, most provided constructive criticism, asking for more information about the actual wine on the website and identifying the phrase “Get Under the Influence,” which featured a collaboration with an influencer, as

problematic rather than funny. “Intent doesn’t always equal impact,” Taylor says. “It’s the perfect example of why having a diverse group of humans with diverse perspectives at the table is so important.”

The feedback helped Taylor and Mincey hone a message they hope makes moms feel less alone and celebrates the chaos of motherhood versus one that leans into “my kids drive me to drink” negativity. The rosé label, for example, reads, “We see you making moves, kicking A**, and taking names.” The Cabernet Sauvignon is described as “fruit-forward, spicy, and a little bit feisty—just like you, Mama Bear.”

“If I’m in my kitchen by myself after a crazy freakin’ Wednesday—I mean, I have four kids, anything could happen—I can read the back of our bottle and feel like I’m being surrounded by the mom community,” Mincey says. “We believe that moms deserve their own things.”

Even as Taylor and Mincey have been searching for more funding, they’ve kept creating those things. In February 2023, they launched OnlyMoms, a podcast hosted by Mincey that features no-subject-too-taboo interviews with a variety of influencers and experts (e.g., a pelvic floor physical therapist) in the parenting sphere. This past spring, Mom Juice debuted in 40 Target locations in the founders’ home states of Colorado and North Carolina. A Mom Juice companion card game with conversation prompts is in the works. And Taylor has spent the past two years researching and conceptualizing a nonalcoholic, low-sugar sparkling wine she hopes to launch as soon as possible—once enough dollars come through to produce it.

That cork might soon pop: At press time, Mom Juice was close to an agreement with a Colorado VC firm, according to Taylor. In addition to bringing a nonalcoholic wine to market, Taylor would use the infusion of money to grow her sales and marketing team and expand the brand’s presence at tastings and festivals throughout Colorado. Doing so would create not just more visibility for the wine, but also for its founders’ success breaking into both the alcohol industry and the VC world, two traditionally white, traditionally male spaces.

“I love the wine. I drink the wine. And, you know, I’ve called my own wine ‘mom juice’ 150 times,” Goss says. “But this is about something bigger than just wine. If you put money into specific markets, they grow; if you put money into specific founders, they grow. They’re setting the stage for women of color to make a bigger impact.” m

Indian Peaks Wilderness’ Lone Eagle Peak

The Perfect...

...Tent View

CAMPSITE 12, CRATER LAKE

Indian Peaks Wilderness

I’m suddenly nervous. All that separates my hiking partner and me from the view I’ve raved about for months is a thin swath of nylon. My refrain—It’s just like the Italian Dolomites, but without the espresso bar—is getting old, and I’m worried the spectacle won’t live up to my hype.

Rachel and I have been backpacking buddies for years, and lately, she’s been helping me research slices of backcountry bliss for a guidebook I’m writing. We’ve pitched tents amid some of the country’s grandest scenery, including Zion National Park and California’s Lost Coast. Nothing against those pretty places, but you don’t wake up in the goods like you do at Crater Lake’s campsite 12. The same can’t be said for many of the Indian Peaks Wilderness’ other bivouacs, which are usually relegated to pine groves far from any water. Campsite 12, on the other hand, offers an unbroken vista of the pool we’ve trekked seven miles to savor.

We set up by headlamp last night, so to heighten the drama, I wait for the sun to fully reveal itself. Then I unzip the door. Lone Eagle Peak dominates the scene. Not even 12,000 feet tall, the conical mountain may be short by Colorado standards, but from this low vantage, the snow-smeared summits behind it fan out like a kingly retinue. Crater Lake’s surface is so still that I’m treated to a pair of peaks as I tiptoe to the shore to collect water for coffee. Rachel is still in her sleeping bag looking out the tent flap, mouth agape. Only a hot cup of instant espresso could improve the view.

...Half-Mile To Run And Birdwatch

LITTLE DRY CREEK TRAIL

Arvada

Bird-running is oxymoronic. Running asks us to go fast. Birding requires us to slow down, to be still. When I turn my head skyward while pounding the pavement, however, I ease up just enough to see the patches of color beneath the birds’ wings with my naked eyes. Like these fowl, I am in motion. I do this obscure activity in a surprisingly mundane place—the half-mile stretch of suburban greenbelt along Arvada’s Little Dry Creek Trail that connects Pomona Lake 2 to Wood Run Park. It’s here that I chase a belted kingfisher around a small lake. It flies from cottonwood to cottonwood, dodging my gaze, but its mohawk and rusty chest are unmistakable. Flickers dart above me while a turtle suns itself on a log in the lake, and when I run up on the blue jays fluttering among a small grove of pines, they don’t mind me. Their calls are louder than the drum of my feet. I carry on, amassing miles, knowing that when my run returns through this stretch of trail, there will be new sightings I’ll file away to delight in later.

EXPERT PICK

...Backcountry Ski Turn

Aaron Rice knows snow. Not only is he a lead instructor at Silverton Avalanche School and an American Mountain Guides Association apprentice ski guide, but the 35-year-old also studied snow science at the University of Colorado Boulder. Plus, he hasn’t missed a ski season since he was three. So when he put his mind to designating the best single backcountry ski turn within the state’s rectangular borders, it’s no surprise he took a methodical approach. “I’ve heard it said that there are three kinds of skiers,” he says. “Folks who ski for the feeling of it, folks who ski for the challenge of it, and folks who ski for the aesthetic.” Using those three elements (plus accessibility) as his criteria, Rice settled on a run just outside of Silverton to the west of U.S. 550, near the OPUS hut. “I’m going to be a little bit cagey here,” he says of the exact location. “You’re standing on an unnamed peak, and you get this vista that covers Bear Mountain, Sultan Mountain, and Grand Turks sweeping all the way down into the depths of the Weminuche Wilderness. It’s all right there. You don’t even have to turn your head.” To pick a specific turn, however, Rice abandoned challenge and aesthetic and focused on feeling. “It’s that sense of tipping in, of transition that drives the exhilaration we search for when we ski,” he says. “So on the right day—with that view—it’s the first turn off the top.” —NH

...People-Listening Perch

BLUE LAKE

Crested Butte

At the turnaround point for this 13.2-mile out-and-back near Crested Butte that combines the Oh-Be-Joyful, Daisy Pass, and Blue Lake trails, you’ll find a conveniently placed rock slab. Sharp-cornered and layered like a biscuit, the granite perch juts out over Blue Lake from a thicket of squat pines. Its perfectly smooth top, dotted with orange and green lichen, accommodates precisely two humans and a heeler-chihuahua mix. But it’s not just the view I love. This rock is a miracle of acoustics. From a quarter mile away, approaching hikers’ conversations skim over the lake, somehow redirected to this all-hearing throne by the natural amphitheater formed by Purple and Afley peaks. I’ve spent hours here failing to read my book and instead listening to daytrippers chatting with their dogs, trail runners tackling the 2,100-foot ascent, and a man proselytizing the gospel of cold plunging to his friends. I’d come here seeking seclusion. Instead, I found something even better: solitude while in the company of others. —Erin Berger

...70 Feet Of Rock Climbing

GRAND OL’ OPRY

Estes Park Valley

When you see Grand Ol’ Opry for the first time, you’re like, Holy crap, how does that rock even exist? It’s not just that it’s huge. It’s freestanding and slightly overhanging, and even though it’s a single, 70-foottall pitch, there are no easy moves the whole way up. I’m not strong enough to climb it, but then again, few are. Estes Park local Tommy Caldwell, whom you may know from the documentaries The Dawn Wall and Alex Honnold’s Free Solo, made the first ascent in 1998, and for a long time, Grand Ol’ Opry was the most difficult route along the Front Range at 5.14b. I’m not sure if others have surpassed it, but it’s still the most scenic route, with views of Longs Peak and Rocky Mountain National Park in the distance. When I photograph climbers on it, there are no bad shots, and it’s inspiring to watch others send it. Luckily, there are relatively easier routes nearby (such as 5.10d Tabula Rasa) that are perfect for doing just that while you take a break from your own ascent. “Relative” being the key word. —Aaron Colussi

My runners’ group text explodes in late June with a simple question: “Is Jones Pass good to go?” The singletrack in question is a stretch of the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) accessed via an unassuming 1.4-mile spur trail near the Henderson Mine. The copious columbines, pines, and rushing creeks along this stretch of the CDT would be enough to earn it a spot in Colorado’s pantheon of trail running routes, but they’re not the reason my phone starts buzzing. That’s still ahead, after the route gains another 1,000 feet of elevation in around a mile. The masochist in me enjoys the 20-degree uphill grind, but once my altimeter logs 12,000 feet, my footfalls slow. For the next quarter-mile or so, I am a peer among the peaks. Optical illusions suggest I could reach out and touch the summits rising to the west. The trail continues northeast up 12,530-foot Stanley Mountain and follows the spine of the divide in an unending flow. It’s here that I’ll fall into a leisurely pace, content to linger until the afternoon storm clouds roll in. —Sarah Banks

...Angling Spot

For Davis James, a former fly-fishing guide and current marketing manager for gear giant Orvis, the prime place to cast a line is the South Platte River’s Antero Reservoir. It’s a handsome locale with crystalline water that reflects the weighty Collegiate Peaks in the distance, but at 2,300 acres, it’s impossible for James to pick one bit of bank. Instead, he used another factor to whittle things down: time. As summer approaches, say around mid-May, the reservoir’s browns and rainbows move from the depths to Antero’s shoreline and weed beds to feed, bringing them within reach of even the most novice fish hunter. “This time window can be short, depending on how quickly the ambient temperature picks up,” James says. Once the water warms enough, the trout—which can exceed 10 pounds thanks, in part, to a protein-rich diet of damselflies, bait fish, Callibaetis mayflies, and leeches—spend more time in deeper water. “It pays to have a flexible schedule and a habit of visiting your local fly shop regularly,” James says. “Information flows from staffers even faster when you walk in with a 12-pack of their favorite beverage.” —NH

...200 Degrees Of Sunset

HUSTON LAKE PARK

Denver

Finding a quality sunset in the Mile High City is about as difficult as finding a mustache at a craft brewery. But as with whiskers, not all sunsets are created equal. Yes, Sloan’s Lake and Washington Park are gorgeous venues for watching the sun make its daily dip behind the peaks, but you know who else knows that? Everyone. Instead, head to Huston Lake Park, a lesser-known, 34-acre green space tucked away in Denver’s Athmar Park neighborhood. Leave your car on South Vallejo Street at the east end of the lake and walk through the field to a cluster of trees obscuring a broad but inconspicuous peninsula. When the sun melts into the mountains, the cottonwoods at your back will begin to glow and the water, which wraps around you in a 200-degree arc, will shimmer, leaving you with the distinct feeling that you’re not just watching a sunset. You’re inside a sunset. Don’t believe me? Just ask my wife, whom I proposed to on this very site. Clearly blinded by the beauty that surrounded us, she said, “Yes.” —Jay Bouchard

Marc Bergreen

... 50 Feet Of Knife’s-Edge Scrambling

Marc Bergreen likes Grays and Torreys peaks for lots of reasons. As with all fourteeners, the sibling mountains offer expansive views, and the summer trailhead is about an hour from Denver—close enough that he and his wife, Brenda, a fellow adventure photographer, can drop the kids off at school, summit, and be back in town before the final bell rings. But you won’t find the reason Bergreen loves these pinnacles on the 8.25-mile standard route. Instead, Bergreen prefers the Class 3 scramble up Kelso Ridge to Torreys Peak. “I’m more of a rock climber,” he says, “so it’s fun for me to do something that has a little bit of exposure.” The ridge offers

plenty of that. “It gets progressively steeper,” Bergreen says, “but there are areas where you can drop down to one side or the other to reduce your level of exposure or commitment.”

That is, until you reach the knife’s edge, where for 50 or so feet, you have to walk along the blade. Luckily, in a state known for inferior rock that can crumble, the stone here is solid, making for a safer ascent. “Still,” he says, “it’s a lot more exciting than a traditional walk up the trail with tourists from Texas.” —NH

...500 Feet Of Inbounds Powder

OZONE

Aspen Highlands Ski Resort, Aspen

I spent much of my early adulthood scouring skiing’s holy places for powder lines. There are the silky, post-storm turns on Valluga’s north face in St. Anton, Austria, and the plunge midway down La Voute couloir in La Grave, France, where skiers drop into a silent snow vortex. But in my early 30s, after I’d scratched the itch for exotic ski locales but was still hungry for snowy, high-alpine descents, I finally hoofed it up Aspen Skiing Company’s Highland Bowl and discovered a bigmountain pitch that serves up some of the best steep resort skiing in Colorado—and maybe even the Lower 48. From the top of Loge Peak lift, a 45-minute bootpack delivers you to Ozone, one of the bowl’s 18 or so designated lines. The run is a direct shot off 12,392-foot Highland Peak, from where you can see the Maroon Bells to the south and Red Mountain to the north. Click your poles together under the fluttering prayer flags and slide into the 270-acre arena. While there’s 2,500 vertical feet of prime skiing here, it’s the mid-section of Ozone—500 feet of sustained fall-line skiing—that’s ideal for flowing powder turns. At a 40-degree pitch, gravity coaxes your legs into an effortless rhythm, your speed slowed by the six to 18 inches of low-density snow that can blanket the upper elevations of the Elk Mountains. And unlike Valluga or La Voute, Highland Bowl is bombed for avalanches, so there’s all the fun and little of the risk. As you descend, the valley spreads out before you. It’s all sky and snow and the hiss of skis, and you might, for a moment, experience the sensation of flying. —Kelley Manley

...Disc Golf Hole

BEAVER RANCH DISC GOLF COURSE

Conifer

I am not a good disc golfer. The beauty of Colorado’s mountain courses, though, is that they’re really just hikes enhanced by the opportunity to throw specialized discs at metal baskets. Because of that, even I can appreciate the appeal of Hole 8 at Beaver Ranch Disc Golf Course in Conifer. The tee pad sits 375 feet across a wide-open valley from the silver (read: closest) pin. I can’t drive that far yet, but as I take in the scene—verdant grass dotted with white wildflowers, a meandering red dirt path to the target’s hillside perch, evergreens lining the fairway, cobalt blue skies—I like to pretend I can. I envision my disc soaring from my hand in a perfect S curve. I hear the rattle of chains echoing as the flying saucer finds its mark. I feel the high-fives from my companions, who will sign my ace disc once I’ve retrieved it. The lack of trees to bend shots around, the thinner air at 8,000 feet, and the tee pad’s elevated position make me feel like anything is possible. Until I get that kind of distance, however, I’ll continue enjoying the view—and trying to land my approach shots softly enough that they don’t roll back down into the valley.

Astrophotographer Jordan Neumeyer

SWEETWATER LAKE White River National Forest

...Site To Photograph The Milky Way

When DarkSky Colorado asked Jordan Neumeyer to take images at the Flat Tops Wilderness Area’s Sweetwater Lake to help it certify the area as an official Dark Sky Place, the Erie-based astrophotographer knew it would be a special spot. But even with those high expectations, Neumeyer wasn’t prepared for what he found. “It’s one of the darkest skies I’ve seen,” he says. “You get confused by the number of stars you can see.” Although the lake isn’t the darkest spot in the state (it’s between a Class 1 and a Class 2 on the Bortle Scale, where Class 1 is pitch black and Class 9 is an inner-city sky), if you hike to the northeastern shore, you can set up your camera to capture the Milky Way as it comes into view over the water. On Neumeyer’s February 2022 visit, that required tromping through the snow at 3 a.m. The spiral galaxy rises earlier as warmer weather arrives—from around midnight in late May to closer to 9 p.m. toward the end of September. Just remember to plan around the lunar calendar: A full moon can wash out even the darkest skies. —JL

...Golf Tee

WILLIS CASE GOLF COURSE

Denver

Some argue that City Park Golf Course—with its view of the Denver skyline—owns the city’s best tee. Those people clearly haven’t tried to reserve a weekend slot there. Willis Case, a public course in northwest Denver, wins both in terms of bookability and beauty. Perched above much of the city at 5,335 feet, Case’s first tee swaps skyscrapers for 250-million-year-old Front Range rock, and every hour affords a new perspective. At dawn, streaks of pink creep toward the mountains’ feet, while cerulean afternoon skies provide an excellent canvas for tracking your errant shot. And because the tee box is sandwiched between the ninth and the 18th holes, you’ll likely find fairway grass, whether you’ve got a nasty slice or a mean hook. Even better, Willis Case’s signature start hosts a rich ecosystem for more than your Pro VI ball. Lined by mature evergreens, home to hidden hawks, and dotted with flirtatious sand traps where foxes occasionally snooze (raccoons prefer the pocket of trees behind the green), the first tee offers 428 yards of potential glory that’s yet to be spoiled by your terrible swing. —Kasey Cordell

...12 Feet Of Mountain Biking Descent

HARD MONEY TRAIL

Blackhawk

After roughly 800 feet of descending, Hard Money splits into an A line and a B line. It’s not the only time this bike trail on Blackhawk’s Maryland Mountain presents riders with a choice. There are optional booters and rock rollers down the entire length of the black diamond singletrack, but none of those decisions are as dramatic as this one. Go straight and there’s more machine-sculpted berms. Make a hard right and you’re dropping down a 12-foot-tall boulder. From the top, the descent looks spicy, with a rock wall to the right, a small drop to the left, and a 30-plus-degree roller in the middle. Originally, the trail builders weren’t going to include this hunk of rock, but once the crew of volunteer shovelers set eyes on it, they threatened to rebel if the slab wasn’t worked into the plans. Good thing they did. My stomach still drops a little each time I nose my wheel over the edge. That twinge of fear immediately turns to joy. Although it looks dangerous, unlike similar features in the region, navigating this boulder doesn’t require much beyond staying off the brakes so you don’t go over the bars. Do that, and you’re rewarded with one of those rare moments where a mere mortal feels like he should be on the cover of a magazine. —NH m

Instead of using poured concrete as the base of the back patio, homeowners Bridget and Kory Mitchell chose Pennsylvanian bluestone pavers for their subtle color variation and texture, a coastal look that’s echoed by the home’s cedar shake shingle siding.

Inside Out

In Denver’s Hilltop neighborhood, a family home blends East Coast style with California casual influences while seamlessly connecting to the outdoors.

BRIDGET AND KORY MITCHELL typically celebrate their wedding anniversaries with dinner and drinks at Fruition, one of their favorite Denver restaurants. But for their sixth anniversary, in May 2020, COVID19 shutdowns forced them to rethink their plans. “All we could do was take a walk together with a cup of coffee in hand,”

Bridget says.

That impromptu Saturday morning stroll through the Hilltop neighborhood resulted in another reason to celebrate. “We saw a ‘Coming Soon’ sign on a raggedy, lonely little home on a massive corner lot,” Bridget says, noting that the couple had outgrown its Georgian-style house in Park Hill and was in search of a new property with more outdoor space. Though the yard was overgrown and the house hadn’t been maintained, the Mitchells saw the lot’s potential and immediately fell in love with the idea of raising their then two-year-old son, Maclain, there. “We were so pumped. We submitted our best offer that weekend, and by Monday or Tuesday, we were under contract,” Bridget says.

There was just one problem: The existing house was unsalvageable. “We couldn’t even go inside; it was in total disrepair,” Bridget says. “It looked like it had the original carpet from 1953.” The home’s interiors didn’t offer much inspiration, but the Mitchells loved its sprawling, single-level layout. “We knew we wanted to keep the integrity of the ranch style,” Bridget says. The couple worked with Larsen, a Denver designbuild firm, to demolish the original structure and, in its place, construct a four-bedroom home with a

Bridget originally envisioned the kitchen with putty-hued upper and lower cabinets, but when she saw this variegated walnut option for the upper cabinets from the Kitchen Showcase— a Centennial-based kitchen design studio—she knew she had to have it. “I love how the walnut ages and has a natural patina over time,” she says.

modern-farmhouse-meets-New-England-coastal aesthetic on the exterior, a California casual interior, and a strong connection to the plot of land they’d fallen in love with.

To achieve that final wish, the design team created an open-concept layout that spills onto a covered back patio via a 23-foot-wide accordion door. “We wanted to be able to walk through the front door and see all the way through the house to the backyard,” Bridget says. By framing views of the home’s freshly manicured landscape—a project primarily done by Bridget, who completed Colorado State University’s Colorado Certified Gardener program this spring—the window wall acts as a giant piece of art that shifts with the seasons. In the summertime, colorful beds of blooming annuals and textural native plants fill the canvas.

Bridget—a former home-goods boutique owner who now runs an interior design styling company—kept the focus on that view by outfitting the home with a timeless palette of neutral hues, warm woods, and midcentury-moderninspired furnishings. She worked with the Larsen team to design and source several custom touches, from a built-in oak bunk bed in Maclain’s room to a five-foot-wide fireplace in the great room and a set of two-seater kitchen counter stools crafted by Denver furniture designer Kevin Anderson. A sprinkling of vintage objects and landscape art pulls it all together and gives the property a cozy, lived-in vibe. “I didn’t want anything to feel brandnew,” Bridget says. “I wanted it to feel like these were things that we had collected over time.”

The team at Denver design-build firm Larsen mixed cedar shake siding, whitepainted tumbled brick, and metal roof accents for an exterior materials palette that balanced the Mitchells’ desire for both farmhouse and coastal styles.

Arched alcoves add a softness to the living room, which is anchored by a large gas fireplace Bridget says she flips on nearly every day.

In Kory’s office, the built-in shelving was custom-designed to fit his entire book collection, which Bridget organized by color. “Everyone on his Zoom calls is like, ‘Is that a fake background?’ ” she says. Denver furniture maker Kevin Anderson handcrafted the walnut desk.

“I wanted this room to endure and last,” Bridget says of the minimalistic bedroom she created for Maclain, who is now six years old. The custom, built-in bunk bed was created without a single screw and features open shelving for displaying his favorite books and toys. The adjacent nook provides quiet space for future homework sessions.

In the primary bathroom, dual vanities by Denver-based Kitchen Showcase flank a freestanding tub. The bedroom’s oak canopy bed, custom window coverings from Cherry Creek Shade & Drapery, and woven pendant lights create a layered look.

That assembled-over-the-years aesthetic extends to the covered patio, where woven light fixtures hang above a repurposed dining set the Mitchells used in their old home. Strategically placed uplighting adds an intimate ambience to alfresco dinners that linger into the evening, while a modern gas firepit and heaters installed in the ceiling make the space usable year-round.

“It really is an extension of our living room, and we treat it that way,” Bridget says. “Unless it’s absolutely blizzarding, we’re out there every day.”

The indoor-outdoor space is the Mitchells’ go-to spot for hosting gatherings and events, playing fetch with their two dogs, and sipping coffee while watching Maclain play in the yard. It is, she says, a lonely little home no more. m

CHARMING, ECCENTRIC, BLESSED LIFE OF LEE MAXWELL

Ninety-four-year-old Lee Maxwell lives in Eaton and owns a Guinnessworld-record-holding washing machine museum. When his wife of 71 years recently died, Maxwell was left to ponder what his new life would look like—and if anyone, besides him, cares about his singular collection.

Story by

THIS IS HOW IT ENDS:

an old country home with an old country woman resting in a recliner in her family room. Her head lies atop a small pillow; a colorful blanket covers her tiny body.

Barbara Maxwell is 91 years old, the wife of a former college professor, a mother of four, a grandmother of 10, a greatgrandmother of 10. Her eyes are closed, her bony hands are clasped on her abdomen, and her head is tilted slightly, as if she’s straining to hear a distant voice. Her chest rises and falls, almost imperceptibly. A hospice nurse checks her vitals. “It’s unfortunately her time to go,” the man says.

Judy Olsen is in a chair near her mother’s feet, which are propped up on the recliner’s footrest. Judy is 67 and operates the family’s greenhouse nursery, a few dozen yards up the road that runs in front of the Maxwells’ house on the outskirts of Eaton, in Weld County. Judy reaches her hand toward the blanket.

“She told us yesterday she wanted to go,” Judy tells the nurse.

“I think yesterday was a different day for all of us,” Judy’s brother Mike Maxwell says. “She was very open and honest.”

“She told me she loved me,” Judy says.

“We got to say what needed to be said,” Mike says.

The nurse listens and nods. His voice is calming—reassuring, but honest. “This is the stage where we just keep her comfortable,” he says. “I can say pretty confidently she’s not in pain. OK?”

Mike clears his throat, then turns to his father. “Got anything else, Dad?”

Barbara’s husband for the past 71 years, 11 months, and seven days is sitting quietly at the kitchen table. Lee Maxwell glances down, then turns to look at his wife. A grandfather clock ticks away in a corner of the small room. “No,” Lee says finally. “Nothing else.”

The nurse stands, faces Lee, and tells him to take care of himself. Lee pushes himself out of his chair and shakes the nurse’s hand. He walks across the wooden floor, past the clock, past the bedroom, past the framed photos lining the shelves and walls. He reaches his office near the front door, where books and papers are stacked on shelves and scattered about his desk—where I’m watching his wife’s final hours on a tiny, closed-circuit video screen next to Lee’s computer.

He pokes his head inside the doorway. “I need a walk,” Lee says. Moments later, he opens the front door, steps into the cool March air, and disappears.

for years, lee had been something of an enigma in town—Doc Brown without the DeLorean. Over the course of four decades, the retired electrical engineering

professor built a collection of antique washing machines, which now number more than 1,500 and earned him a Guinness world record. Lee’s collection, known officially as Lee Maxwell’s Washing Machine Museum, holds objects that span around 200 years of mechanical innovation: wood, steel, copper, and brass appliances, all of which he stores in a pair of massive warehouses on his property.

He was an expert in the esoteric. Not only did he have the most comprehensive collection of washing machines on the planet, but Lee also collected antique mop wringers, irons, and vacuum stomps. He’d built the menagerie, he says, because he was intrigued by the washers’ mechanics and, over time, became interested in their histories as well. The assemblage was also, he thought, just really, really cool. A steady flow of visitors—up to 700 a year—from around the world would pass through the warehouses and marvel at his pieces, which include an 1885 Guffins Steam Washing Machine, something called a Torpedo Washer, and antique Whirlpools. CBS’ Sunday Morning program profiled Lee in 2018. The “spin doctor,” Jane Pauley had called him.

The washing machines came from auctions and estate sales and junkyards and dilapidated barns in all 50 states, plus locations across Europe and Australia. He’d photographed each one and documented them at oldewash.com, a website his son Mike designed and maintains. In addition to serving as a repository for information on washing machines, the site includes hundreds of washing machine patents and dozens of washing-machinerelated articles Lee’s penned over the years.

Lee began collecting in 1985—the same year he retired from his job at Colorado State University, where he had taught for more than 20 years. As the decades passed, washing machines materialized on his property. Neighbors and strangers who’d heard the legend of Lee Maxwell’s collection would simply roll up in pickups to drop off another rusted discovery.

One day this past December, I drove past an old washing machine sitting at the end of Lee’s gravel driveway and parked outside his house, a stately, late-19th-century white-brick structure. The property stretches 17 acres, with a large pond on the west side, and encompasses the Eaton Grove Nursery as well as a separate house for Judy. (Mike lives on an adjacent plot of land.) Two peacocks lounge atop Lee’s workshop, and several more skitter across the drive. An old water tower constructed of wood rises over the surrounding dirt fields. A sign near the door reads, “Lee Maxwell Collector of Old and Unusual.”

Facing page, clockwise from top left: one of Lee Maxwell’s models; an early example of a perm device; a vintage washing machine advertisement; women’s hands on an agitator

Splintered wooden siding covers the exterior of Lee’s workshop. I knock on the door, and he answers in a

pair of worn brown overalls. He’s wearing a tattered jacket. His thick white hair stands up on the top of his head. Flames crackle in the potbelly fireplace near the doorway. Handmade wooden gears and slats cover a workbench. Along two walls are drawers with labels for things like “wringer spring bars,” “lid hinges,” “top wing bolts,” “agitator crowns,” and something called “TITS.” (I don’t ask.) A large monitor displays an image of his website. Another tab is open to an eBay search for antique clothing irons. “You always have to be on the lookout,” he says.

Mike eventually stops by, and the two take me on a brief tour of the warehouses, which don’t have heaters and are bitterly cold. Lee walks through the warren of mechanical oddities while Mike watches his father’s footsteps, ready to catch him if he stumbles. “Watch yourself, Dad,” Mike calls out every few minutes.

I check out the wooden tub Clarinda Dolly washer from 1917 and a Bendix washer, the first mass-produced rotating-drum washer from 1937. I pop open the door on a white Maytag Model SE1000, the company’s first stacked washer and dryer, released in 1987. “Sometimes, I wonder why anyone but me cares about this,” Lee says. I can’t tell if he’s being modest or if he’s asking an

existential question about what his massive collection means. The temperature has fallen below freezing in one of the warehouses, and Mike interrupts us. “We can’t have you getting a cold,” he tells his father. “I’m not ready to deal with that.” Lee agrees. He turns off the lights and shuts the door behind him.

barbara, lee, and mike are chatting in the house on Valentine’s Day when Lee starts telling the story of how he had wanted to propose to Barbara on this day in 1952, but he’d left the engagement ring at his parents’ house. It had snowed in Alliance, Nebraska, he says, where they both lived. “I didn’t want to have to walk the mile there and back.” Though Barbara has probably heard the story dozens of times, she smiles at her husband as if this were the first telling.

Lee proposed the next night in front of Barbara’s parents’ house. When Barbara said yes, the pair ran inside to wake her parents. “I saved so much money by waiting,” Lee says and then grins at his wife. “Imagine all the extra money I would’ve spent on anniversary flowers on Valentine’s Day.” Barbara laughs and reaches out to touch her husband’s hand.

Now in their 90s, Lee and Barbara are part of a rare club: They are nonagenarians, a word derived from the

EVEN

REFUSED TO USE THE WORD “OLD,” OFTEN REFERRING TO BARBARA AND HIMSELF AS “GROWN UP.”

Latin nonagenarius, which means “containing ninety.” A 2018 International Psychogeriatrics concluded that, among a small sample size, “exceptional longevity was characterized by a balance between acceptance of and grit to overcome adversities, along with a positive attitude and close ties to family, religion, and land, providing purpose in life.”

Although Lee and Barbara aren’t religious, they seem to possess all the other traits in the report. Two of their children live nearby. Barbara reads voraciously—newspapers and mysteries, mostly. At 5 p.m. every weekday, she turns the channel to BBC News and hosts happy hour, which these days includes popcorn and bottled water. Lee works on brainteaser puzzles, on washing machine research, and on scale wooden washing machine models he creates from his collection of patents.

The National Bureau of Economic Research reported in 2019 that just three percent of American couples survive into their 90s. Lee and Barbara had buried parents, in-laws, aunts, uncles, brothers, and sisters. In fall 2023, the couple’s eight-year-old great-granddaughter died from neuroblastoma. And yet they had survived.

It seemed as if everything in Lee’s life had an origin story with Barbara. In 1951, he was home from the Navy when he saw her at a bank teller’s desk. They married in 1952. In 1955, she encouraged him to leave the oil industry in Oklahoma to pursue a degree in electrical engineering at the University of Oklahoma. She supported his first teaching job, as an associate professor at the University of Idaho, then backed the move to Fort Collins and CSU. When the house in Eaton came up for sale in 1974, Lee, Barbara, and the kids drove the 20 miles from their home in town, past the farms and the fields to see it. When they opened the front door to the old brick house, Barbara turned to her husband. “Don’t dawdle,” she said. “Get this house.”

Even Lee’s washing machine collection began with his wife. As he often tells the story, the couple bought an RV when Lee retired in 1985, and they planned a road trip from Colorado to Maine. Somewhere in Iowa, they stopped at a farmer’s estate sale. There, among the implements and tools, Lee spied a 1907 Maytag Model 44. He loved the machine’s beauty and the mechanics of it. Over time, he began to love the idea that these machines changed women’s roles at home. Barbara didn’t object when Lee paid $100 for the contraption and loaded it into their ride. She didn’t complain much, either, when he kept stopping and buying up antique washers. “We bought 12 more all the way to Maine,” Lee says. “We came home with a mobile home and a new trailer filled with washing machines.”

As they grew older, Barbara and Lee seemed unincumbered by the worries that came with aging. Lee even refused to use the word “old,” often referring to Barbara and himself as “grown up.” He wrote regular letters to his 10 grandchildren, updating

them on his washing machine additions, his latest research, and his life with “Bun,” his nickname for Barbara. “Your grandma believes if you study and learn more that you will be happier,” he once wrote the grandkids. “Do you think that way too? How will you know if you don’t try it?”

Lee was in relatively good health, considering his high-mileage body. Barbara took multiple daily walks around the property, logging more than a mile each day. She visited the nursery. At night, Barbara and Lee would sit in their family room chairs and put on a movie. Lee liked Clint Eastwood. Barbara preferred Charles Bronson. Once they had both started sleeping downstairs, they would tuck themselves into their twin beds, which were on opposite walls of a converted room just off the main hallway. A needlepoint hung over Barbara’s bed: “Home Is Where The Heart Is.”

in september 2023, Barbara was admitted to the hospital in Greeley with swelling in her legs and was diagnosed with extremely low sodium levels. The prognosis was bleak. She and Lee had never been afraid to discuss mortality. Barbara didn’t want a funeral. Her newspaper death

Its online nomination process is open to all licensed physicians in America who are able to nominate physicians in any medical specialty and in any part of the country, as well as indicate whether the nominated physician(s) is, in their opinion, among the best in their region in their medical specialty or among the best in the nation in their medical specialty. Then, Castle Connolly’s research team thoroughly vets each physician’s professional qualifications, education, hospital and faculty appointments, research leadership, professional reputation, disciplinary history, and, if available, outcomes data. Additionally, a physician’s interpersonal skills, such as listening and commu nicating effectively, demonstrating empathy, and instilling trust and confidence, are also considered in the review process. The Castle Connolly Doctor Directory is the largest network of peer-nominated physicians in the nation. Physicians selected for inclusion in this magazine’s “Top Doctors” feature may also appear online at castleconnolly.com, or in conjunction with other Castle Connolly Top Doctors databases online and/or in print.

Castle Connolly is part of Everyday Health Group, a recognized leader in patient and provider education, attracting an engaged audience of over 82 million health consumers and over 900,000 U.S. practicing physicians and clinicians to its premier health and wellness digital properties. Our mission is to drive better clinical and health outcomes through decision-making informed by highly relevant information, data, and analytics. We empower health care providers and consumers with trusted content and services delivered through Everyday Health Group’s world-class brands.

The process combines laser treatments with growth factors and proteins to significantly thicken fine hair, restore hair growth, and stop hair loss throughout all four stages of the hair life cycle. The peptides within KeraLase are nearly 1,000 times more potent than those found in PRP. Dr. Emmett herself has experienced personal hair rejuvenation in just a matter of weeks after an aggressive case of hair loss resulting from COVID-19. Patients will achieve full results within three to six sessions. *Standard price is $800.00 per session.

• RENUVION / JPLASMA | Renuvion is a technology that uses controlled helium plasma energy to dramatically eliminate sun damage and both deep and fine lines—lines that no facelift can repair. Renuvion also tightens loose skin with or without liposuction and is effective for pigmentation correction. Contact us today to find out how Renuvion works, see real results, and schedule a consultation.

• LUTRONIC LASER | A relative newcomer on the scene, this is a highly effective yet nonablative Thulium resurfacing laser with little to no downtime treating scars, sun damage, redness, wrinkles, and multiple discoloration issues including melasma. Dr. Emmett explains that this laser offers adjustable intensity and is versatile. Come have one, fast treatment for glow and luminosity or multiple treatments to address major concerns. Lutronic works by creating micro channels under the skin, stimulating collagen, improving skin texture and tone, and shrinking pores—creating brightness and luminosity for all ages and every skin type all year long.

We care about YOUR concerns, whether they’re feeling less tired or looking 10 years younger— your goals matter to us.

BEAUTY BY BUFORD

GREGORY A. BUFORD, MD

2 5280 Top Doctor 2024

In 2001, I established BEAUTY by BUFORD with a singular vision: to provide world-class surgical results coupled with an exceptional customer experience. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of serving thousands of patients from across the globe.

My journey in medicine began at the University of California, San Diego, where I completed my undergraduate studies. I then pursued medical training at Georgetown University School of Medicine. My expertise was further honed through residencies in both General Surgery and Plastic Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. I also completed the Baker-Stuzin-Baker Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship and the A4M Anti-Aging/ Restorative Medicine Fellowship.

My commitment to excellence has been recognized with several accolades. I’ve been named a Castle-Connolly Top Doctor since 2017 and a 5280 Top Doctor for both 2023 and 2024. In 2018, I was honored to be the commencement speaker at my alma mater, Revelle College at UC San Diego, where I was also recently named an Honorary Fellow. From the outset, I’ve challenged myself and my team to elevate the Plastic Surgery experience. Growing up around customercentric companies like Nordstrom and Starbucks, I’ve always believed that the patient journey is paramount. In 2010, I published “Beauty and the Business” to share this philosophy with other medical professionals.

I invite you to experience the true essence of Plastic Surgery at BEAUTY by BUFORD. On behalf of myself and my amazing team, we look forward to the opportunity to work with you and exceed your expectations.

notice would be brief. “Barbara Maxwell of Eaton,” it would read. “Private family services will be held.” She’d be cremated, and her remains would be placed in a wooden receptacle. Her ashes, at some point, would be spread at the pond and in her favorite hiking spots around Fort Collins.

After Barbara was released from the hospital, Lee bought a pair of overstuffed brown recliners, and Judy situated them across from the flat-screen TV that’s next to the fireplace. At night, Barbara struggled to sleep in her bed. “She moved onto the recliner,” Lee says, “and that was it.”

By late winter, Judy and Mike had updated their two siblings, who live outside of Colorado, on the situation. When Lee needed a break, Judy would come over and play Pavarotti—her mother’s favorite—on the stereo. Mike would hold his mom’s hand.

Lee stopped going to his workshop. He worried he would miss Barbara’s final moment. Lee installed a video monitor in the family room and placed a miniature video screen in his office, where he was reworking an old article on the history of PastTime washing machines. Judy often stayed at the house at night so her father could rest. She brushed her mother’s hair; she adjusted the colorful blanket covering her. She sat next to her mother and just watched. One night, near the end, Judy heard her father stirring, then the sound of two feet hitting the wooden floor. Judy pretended to sleep as Lee came into the room. Barbara opened her eyes for a moment and met her husband’s gaze. There, in the dark, they smiled at each other before Barbara fell asleep again.

a week after barbara’s death in late March of this year, her remains rest in a wooden box near the living room fireplace. Photos of her are on the kitchen table. In one, Barbara’s thin arms rise above her head, in a victorious pose. “I don’t think we could have wanted an ending better than the one we got,” Lee says. Lee is sitting at the kitchen table, the one he and Barbara had picked up from the side

of the road in the early ’60s, when they were young and still building a family in Idaho. Barbara had been in charge of decorating over the past 50 years and put her touch on virtually everything in the room. Her ceramic roosters rest atop the kitchen cabinets, above the stovetop backsplash decorated with a mishmash of painted tiles—a brown goat with a crescent moon in the background, a peach, a trio of poinsettias, a majestic blue-and-green peacock—collected from their travels.

Every week for decades, Lee bought Barbara a bouquet of flowers and put them in a vase in the kitchen. A few days after Barbara died, Lee picked up a dozen yellow roses from Walmart. He filled a glass vase with water and placed it in the kitchen. He now goes to Walmart alone to get his groceries. Although Judy and Mike live nearby, he is determined to do his own shopping, to make his own food, to clean his own clothes. Barbara had always done most of the household chores, including doing the wash. One day, not long after Barbara’s death, Lee had to ask Judy how to use the washing machine. The irony wasn’t lost on his daughter. “The man with the largest collection in the world,” she says, “can’t do his own laundry.”

Judy showed her father the basics: Don’t mix colors with whites. This is where you put the detergent. Don’t overstuff the washer. She gave him detailed instructions, which he wrote down on a piece of paper and set atop the dryer:

EMPTY POCKETS

Wash start

2 T-spoons in drawer

Dial to speed wash

Temp to warm

Spin to high

Soil to normal

Push start

EMPTY POCKETS

“I’m figuring things out,” Lee says a few days later and holds up a pair of his jeans. He’d forgotten to empty his pockets and a cough drop melted in one. “Still learning,” he says. “Won’t happen again.”

lee is working through a puzzle one afternoon this past spring and talking to me about his work on an article about a washing machine he wants to put on his website before the summer. “I’ve got a deadline, and I’m not missing it,” he says. “You have to have something to look forward to, right?”

Lee, however, isn’t looking forward to a different chore on his to-do list. He says Mike wants him to go through his house and take inventory of what he still needs and what can go. “Clean out cupboards and stuff,” Lee says. “I’m not going to do that.” This was his home, his life, and he’d do what he wanted. Barbara’s wooden signs— “The Simple Life” and “Wine Gets Better With Age”—still hang from the kitchen walls. Her books are on tables and chairs. Her blouses and pants and shoes remain untouched in the bedroom, which is made up just the way she had it before she’d moved to the recliner. Her photographs rest in a glass cabinet and atop the piano Barbara and Lee bought 60 years ago. Her denim jacket dangles from a door near the TV, as if ready for a springtime walk to the pond. “If that wasn’t hanging there, it

would be empty,” Lee says. “It’s already empty enough.”

As he’s talking, his cell phone rings. Lee picks up. It’s one of his friends. “Howya doing, Lee?” the voice says. “I was just checking in.”

“You know…,” Lee says, drawing out he words. “I’m extra splenditious in a tangential way right now.”

The voice on the other end pauses, then says, “Have you gotten any new machines?”

“Not really,” Lee says.

The two talk for a little bit, and then the friend says, “Lee, you said you’re extra splenditious but in a tangential way. Why’s that?”

Lee’s eyes go soft. “Oh,” he says. “You don’t know?” He looks at the ceiling. “Barbara passed away.”

“Oh, Lee,” the voice says. “I’m sorry, I didn’t. I’m so, so sorry.”

The call is brief, uncomfortable. At some point, it’s unclear who is comforting whom. “She was beautiful and wonderful,” Lee finally says. “I lived every day like I was the luckiest person.”

lee pulls out a golf cart one day this past spring and drives around the pond on the property. Geese had flown in and were taking over the area; Lee stops every 50 or so yards to see if he can spy an egg.

He drives the cart along the water’s edge, passing a rusted tractor he’d gotten from an estate sale decades ago. He passes the back end of the nursery, where employees are unloading trees. Then he heads back home and after parking the cart, wanders to his workshop. For as long as he can remember, this has been his oasis, the place where he can shut out the rest of the world and concentrate. Today, it feels more like a refuge, a bunker against the realities outside the door.

He fiddles with a scale model of an 1865 washing machine, which had been developed by a man named Mason Pike, of North Leverett, Massachusetts. Lee’s wooden model is around two feet long, with hand-sawed gears the size of fists and a wooden arm that pumps up and down. Lee adjusts his bifocals and looks at the pieces of wood scattered atop his workbench. “Lemme see here,” he says.

He presses a thin, wooden slat against his model and scrunches his nose. He studies the rest of the model and realizes he made a mistake. He put a wooden arm in the wrong position. “Will you look at that?” he says. Another person might be upset by the discovery, but Lee’s energized, excited to have a problem he can fix.

A little before noon, Lee heads back to the house. His eldest granddaughter, who is in town from California to help her mother around the nursery, shows up at the door and lets herself in.

FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN REMEMBER, THIS HAS BEEN HIS OASIS, THE PLACE WHERE HE CAN SHUT OUT THE REST OF THE WORLD.

“Hey, Grandpa,” Brandy Shakibai, 41, says. “What’re you up to today?”

“You know,” Lee says.

Brandy had helped Lee pick out an air fryer, another step in Lee’s independence. Lee had come to treat the fryer like a culinary miracle. “You just put the food in and you don’t have to worry about it,” he marveled. Brandy showed him how to adjust the settings, how Lee’s Brussels sprouts could cook in just five minutes.

“The perfect char,” Lee says. “Thank you for that.”

“Anything for you,” Brandy says.

Brandy tells her grandfather how she loves her visits home, how she finds a bit of Zen watering plants over at the nursery. She says she feels close to her grandmother when she’s working with the greenery. Judy, who’s also at the house, says she remembers her mother at the nursery, hanging out, sitting and chatting with customers. Lee tells the story of how he saw 19-year-old Barbara at the bank in Nebraska, how his previous girlfriend had written him a Dear John letter and he’d found himself ready for a new relationship. “Grandma’s best friend took her boyfriend away from her!” Lee says. “Lucky for me.”

Brandy and Judy laugh. “Grandma said you guys talked for 45 minutes,” Brandy says. “You asked her out, and she said, ‘No. I’m not that kind of girl.’ ”

running on the treadmills. Lee lowers himself onto a stationary bicycle near an overhead bank of TVs and starts to warm up. He runs a hand over one of his surgically repaired knees. “Gotta get loose,” Lee says. After a few minutes, he moves to the indoor track, which has a view of the swimming pool below.

He takes an outside lane and walks a couple of laps around the track while people less than half his age pass him. He thinks about his old job at CSU, how he and Barbara used to host parties for the graduate students he mentored. Lee was in his 30s then, and some of those men hadn’t been much younger than him. He remembers their names, all of them, and starts ticking them off in his head. His mouth hangs open a moment, as if he’s working out a problem. “Nearly every one of them is gone,” he says. He rests an arm on a rack of weights, looks at the ceiling, and goes through the list one more time. Like any good engineer, he double-checks his figures. “Yeah,” he says after a moment. “Gone.”

BENEFITING:

Lee feigns innocence and tells the two that he and Barbara wrote each other nearly every week for the six months while he served the rest of his time in the Navy. “I was going to ask about that,” Brandy says. Lee says he thinks Barbara saved the letters. Judy brightens. “I would love to see those,” she says. “Do you mind if we….” She catches herself as the words come out, as if she’s worried she might upset her father. “Sometime?” Judy finally says.

“Yeah,” Lee says. “Sometime.”

lee gets behind the wheel of his Chevrolet Equinox one morning this past spring and heads a few miles to the Eaton Recreation Center for his first workout since Barbara’s death. He backs into a parking space at the rec center and steps out of his SUV in his New Balance sneakers. He walks to the wall of glass doors and goes inside. A sandwich board sign posted near the front desk has a picture of a turtle and a finish line drawn in red and green dry-erase marker above a message that reads: “Slow progress is better than no progress. Stay positive, and don’t give up.” Lee shows his identification card at the front desk and heads upstairs.

It’s barely past 7:30 a.m., but several men and women are already lifting weights and

He moves back to a bicycle, then to a treadmill. A young woman is moving at a good clip next to him. Lee pushes the plus button a few times. “It’s nice to be back here,” he says. “I needed this.” Besides dealing with the loss of his wife, Lee has worried lately that he is losing something of himself, physically. He’d fallen in his kitchen a couple of months ago and banged his head on the counter. He escaped with a small cut on his forehead, but the incident was a not-so-subtle reminder that he was no longer as agile as he once had been. He had a new pair of sneakers, with a wider sole, to support him. A cane rested against the desk in his office back home. He’d bought several Amazon Alexa devices and placed them around the house, within earshot, in case he took another spill.

Months earlier, Lee, Mike, and I sat around a table near the fireplace in the workshop and talked about the museum, about Lee’s advancing age, and about what Mike might eventually do with the washing machines, if his father couldn’t find someone to take them. “What do you do with hundreds and hundreds of washing machines?” Mike asked. Even the words sound ridiculous. Mike certainly doesn’t want the washers, and—it seems—neither does anyone else. Lee has always wanted to donate his collection to a museum, but five years of searching produced no takers, largely because he was only willing to donate the collection as a whole, not piecemeal. “It’d be expensive to house them, I know,” Lee said. “Maybe it’s unrealistic.”

Mike and I danced around the idea that someday Lee wouldn’t be around. Lee was giving fewer museum tours because of his age,

and much of that work had fallen to Mike, a retired IT technician, who dutifully helped his father. Mike knew the task of dealing with all this stuff would eventually land in his lap. “It’s something I think about,” Mike admitted. “What happens when….” He didn’t finish the sentence. He didn’t want to lose his dad, and he had no idea what he’d do with the collection when he did.

After his workout at the gym, Lee walks downstairs and pours himself a cup of black

coffee. He sits at a table overlooking the building’s entrance. People flit in and out, and Lee smiles at the thought that this spot had been part of a massive field just a decade earlier. There are too many old-timers who are afraid of change like this, he says, people who fight against everything, who want things to stay just as they always were. “They can’t accept that things evolve,” Lee says. There’s a neighbor of his, he says, who rails against any new thing. The paving of country roads, newly constructed

Modern. Luxury. Adventure.

homes, the shiny strip malls and unfamiliar neighbors and increasing traffic. “I can’t live like that,” he says.

He and Barbara used to go to a bar in town that had been there when they moved to Eaton. A couple of years ago, they started going to a new Mexican restaurant next to a new gas station in a new part of a residential community. “We evolved,” he says. “You can either be afraid of change, or you can embrace it. The world doesn’t care which one you pick. But I do.”

on the way back from his workout, Lee makes a few turns in his Equinox, then breezes up a long, unbroken stretch of blacktop. Open fields pass on each side of the SUV, marked every couple hundred yards with another farmhouse. Lee makes another turn, then reaches the old washing machine at the top of his short driveway. He makes a three-point turn, pushes the garage door opener, and slowly backs in.

There’s a big wooden crate at one end of the garage; along the back wall, there are several gleaming antique washers, Maytags mostly, three-deep. They once belonged to a guy who ran an appliance store in Lafayette. His wife dropped off the washers after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. “He’s got it pretty bad now,” Lee says.

A peacock perches on the roof of the garage above Lee’s head and lets out a sharp caw. Lee looks at the willows and maples that line the gravel path to his workshop. Soon, the trees will be turning green with life. “Things will be changing around here,” he says. “And it’ll be beautiful.”

In a few weeks, Lee will be deep into his next wooden washing machine model. He’ll measure and saw and sand and build. EBay packages will arrive at his kitchen door nearly every day. Judy and Mike and some of the grandkids and great-grandkids will stop by. Judy will find him a goldendoodle puppy. He’ll name it Gravel Gertie, after a character in the Dick Tracy comics. He’ll call her GG, for short.

He’ll watch Charles Bronson on the big TV in his family room. Lee will write more letters to his grandkids. “I no longer have a proofreader for these monthly missives so please excuse the mistakes,” he’ll write. He’ll finally finish his article on the history of the PastTime washer. “My paper won’t be a bestseller,” he’ll joke. He’ll also do his laundry. This time, though, Lee will empty his pockets. m

Panning For Gold

Denver’s cost of living isn’t going to be decreasing anytime soon, so we don’t blame you if you’ve dreamt of heading for the hills to look for precious metals like Colorado’s prospectors of yore. Here are a few nuggets of wisdom to help you avoid fool’s gold. —JAY BOUCHARD

Find a small hand shovel (a garden trowel will work) and a gold pan, which can be procured for less than $20 online. Just make sure the latter is at least 16 inches wide and has ribs to catch any gold flakes.

Panning is allowed on much of Colorado’s public lands, but to ensure your find is legal tender, check with the local land manager to see if there are any special permits, fees, or regulations. Beginners can’t do much better than Jefferson County’s Clear Creek Canyon Park: Its namesake watershed was home to the first gold strike in the region.

In a real-world example of trickle-down economics, rushing waters carry gold flakes downstream until the water slows enough for them to sink. So search for sand along the inside bends of your chosen stream to fill your pan.

After picking out any large pebbles, submerge your pan back in the water deep enough to cover the sediment, then rock it in a slow, circular motion just hard enough for the sand to slip over the edge a little at a time. Don’t worry about losing your payday. The heavy gold should stay put.

Once you’re left with a thin layer of particles, inspect your haul: The real thing will shimmer, even in the shade. Before long, your technique will be golden.
