Thank you so much to all the wonderful comments! Really opened my eyes to some of the gaps between what I was trying to say and what the reader perceived. In this case the image of me with my pack and a fishing pole extending up was lost in the original version (and with it the imagery of the mountain having lassoed me, of me being a signal corps recruit, and of me being a beetle with antennae). I'm not sure if my edit has made it much clearer, but I hope so. I also liked the suggestion to go with more contemporary styling and drop the capital lines. Thanks again!
