I always want the first signs of fall to happen sooner than our Colorado climate typically allows. Being a native I’ve always started dreaming of plaid skirts, chunk cardigans and cute boots normally when the afternoon temperatures are still well in the 80’s. Life is about looking forward, seeing what exciting things are around the horizon and taking comfort in resting and regrouping for the season ahead. That is why the practice of fall to me is the act of forward motion. Each sea son brings new adventures, new ideas, new hopes, and dreams for the future.

EXPERIENCES

If you haven’t met Drs. Lindsey, Bonnie and Oneal...These empathic and compassionate women will be the driving force that continues the exemplary level of medicine we offer at CAH. I can’t wait to see how they elevate the services and community support beyond what I could possibly imagine. The level of medicine, knowledge, communication, and care that they already provide is exceptional. It very thankfully allows me to place my responsibility to our community’s pets in their capable hands with absolute and enduring confidence. I consider the Drs. and Staff of Carbondale Animal Hospital my extended family and am so proud to continue to offer our valley the best of care in the best of hands. Thank you for all your support and the amazing relationships we’ve developed over the years.

When John isn’t out gallivanting abroad with sharks, he is in our beautiful valley helping people with their homes. Both on the inside and out. John has been in the construction industry for over 25 years. He started off his career when he was 20 years old. He taught himself how to build cedar fences, then learned chain link and that led to learning more and more going onto landscaping and then remodels.

You may recognize John Stokes from our April issue (if you don’t though, you can go to citylifestyle.com/roaringfork ).

LOCAL LIMELIGHT | HOME + DESIGN

In 1997, he started building homes. He learned all the jobs involved with that and has been doing it ever since. Mastering all of these skills, including customer service skills, has given John a really cool business model. He founded High Valley Enterprises to be centered on homeowner advocacy. John and his team have become well acquainted with 17 different insurance companies, “We sometimes spend more time with these insurance adjusters than our own families,” John continued, “We work with them so often that we have a good idea of what to expect from the agency right from the start. But we do go over the homeowner’s entire policy with the adjuster. Our job is to make sure the adjuster gets all the information the first time, but if they don’t, we are experts in supplementing those jobs and making sure the homeowner gets their maximum benefit.” When asked if homeowner advocacy is an extra cost for his services John said, “We don’t charge anything for the advocacy ser vice, we just ask that we get the work after insurance approves the work for theTheclaim.” talents of John’s team are expan sive. From commercial roofing to foun dation repair, to getting rid of asbestos and fixing HVAC, and everything in between, “From dirt to roof,” John said, “we can do the work or coordinate to have it done, and we have a strict policy to get out to the homeowner within 24 hours and to have a bid to the home owner within 72 hours no matter how busy we are.” When the team isn’t hard at work advocating for homeowners and fix ing their homes, you can find them at their offices in a farmhouse on 2042 F 3/4 road. That home is the original homestead in the Redlands built in 1953 and it is a venue for parties, avail able to rent on VRBO and a place to be among the horses, chickens, rabbits, and turtles. “The quality of life for the employees at High Valley Enterprises is really important to me, and we love to have clients over to sign contracts and hang out.” John loves his open-door policy and invites you to check out the homestead venue. You can contact John and his team at (970) 812-2222 with any questions you may have.

In the mid-1900s, Chuck Sanger and his new bride Millie took residence at the French Creek Ranch, where they eventually opened a successful hunting and fishing lodge known to welcome guests from all over the world—from Wall Street “tycoons” to His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet. The Sanger Ranch was then purchased by the White family with a mission to preserve the true spirit of the West—including refurbishing the four original homesteads tucked along French Creek, as well as expanding the amenities to include a shooting range, clubhouse and dining cabin. Unveiled in 2016, French Creek Sportsmen’s Club continues to provide the ulti mate sporting hideaway known for some of the most sought-after fly fishing, upland hunting and game hunting found across the French Creek Sportsmen’sglobe.

Meals enjoyed among friends in the Covey Dining Room are skillfully prepared by a personal chef de cuisine, making for an unforget table and unique experience. Additional experiences include events at The Farm at Brush Creek, which features Brush Creek Distillery, a wine cellar and spirit vault.
