Bez, your story reminds me that somewhere near Big Pine, California, there is a nice Pentax Takumar 28mm f/2.8 lens sitting on an outcrop, where I put it down and walked away in 1989. It was a little way off the road, so it's probably still right where I left it. At least the film came home with me. And despite the loss, 1990, 1991, etc turned out to be good years all the same ... Glad you got your camera and photos back - John
