First days in Colorado, the good, the bad and the ugly

The snowpack in the mts. around here was more than had been seen in a number of years, and as a result, Henson Creek, just behind our trailer, along with other creeks & streams, are flowing hard and heavy. This picture shows the conjunction of Henson Creek (brownish water) with the Lake Fork of the Gunnison (greenish). The Lake Fork flows out of the dammed San Cristobal Lake, so silt has already been settled out. Henson Creek flows unrestricted into the Lake Fork.
This is a closeup view of the spot where the waters merge.
Yesterday we went fishing for the first time at this beautiful spot, Browne Lakes, some distance south of L.C. In years past we've caught some of our largest trout here, and the lake gets weeded over as soon as weather warms up. So we gambled, drove there and endured a full day of no bites (almost), wind gusts that required we stay in our chairs lest they be blown into the lake, facial windburn, and frustration. E did catch one trout which we gave away to some worm fishermen, C lost one good one that broke the leader about 4 ft. from the bank.
This is the scene upstream from just behind our rig. By late July the creek will be half this size.
This scene is looking down into the valley where L.C. lies.

Today we successfully moved our rig over, got the awning up, our patio rug down, the site policed up and more organized. This evening we enjoyed steaks cooked on the grill on a hickory board (delish!), a bottle of Walmart's $1.87 wine, and are now cruising into bedtime. Last night C slept 11 hrs. after our fishing venture.

All's well, we're situated comfortably, everything seems to be working, and that's a beautiful thing!
