Well done. There's different ways that folks face challenges in life. I like yours. Some become incapacitated with worry, grief and fretting. But others, once the the shock subsides, take a deep breath, a step back, reconsider their blessings and then harge forward with renewed focus, wonder, and appreciation. The wonder and focus are deeply apparent in your narrative through the lens of fishing the high country. Thanks for the life lessons.

Oh, and I really want to know how that "lost camera creek" fishes in Oct. I hope that you were surrounded with golden light filtered through aspen leaves on that steep slope.
