Unfortunately I have found a few other poor souls who had shoulders that would frequently dislocate. I've got one really good story with a happy ending of a surgically repaired shoulder--but the recovery is nasty.
After early Fall in Alaska, usually the beginning of October, it is the worst time for any outdoor activity until there is substantial snow. Everything is rocky and icy. So I am trying to look at the bright side of things and see that although I am looking the next two months of activity I am otherwise right up against the usual downtime anyway and will be back in time for snow travel.
