Mob Scene On South Platte, Party Of Felons, Tr 713 Checkup, CoWW VHH 26Apr20-28Apr20

Wow the weather has turned very nice - except for allergies impacts... hope y'all are gettin' out. I'll start this entry with a felonious act in which we partook. Brantleys threw a get-together on their lower patio days preceding the "Safer @ Home" release. Good to party, Scooter served serious Napa cabs and we offered a 2012 Law Segacious GSM - very nice. Dave is in the background next to me - he was a restaurateur and pretty happy he's not right now. Kala is with me at the party of felons but she's also behind the lens.
The CoWW VHHs continue and are pretty fun. Here there's no Steve Brown as his phone died. While billionaires and scientists are solving Covid 19, we discuss fishing flies and  tasty cocktail choices - gotta have priorities.
Kala & I checked out Tr 713 behind the AFA on Sun 4/26 and it spurred me to source a Blodgett Pk ascent via that trail. It was a nice day and a great hike with m'lady. I saw my first wild flowers on the outing.
Finally, I did get out toward Cheeseman Canyon but so did everyone else. I could not even find illegal parking hear the Gill TH at 9:30am so I blew it off and went back down to Deckers. It was no better and I found another mob-scene on the river there after hiking in from a lesser used pullout. Terrible. Flows were up to ~250cfs which should be good but I only managed one smallish brown between the combat fisher-persons and the dead deer drinking Coors. I gotta remind myself that SR 285 mainlines near this area from Denver whereas 11 Mile is more a COS-centric playground. I left at noon. Sheesh.
