Mrs. Teknician here....
I just wanted to leave something here in this peaceful place in memorium of my lost pet. This is just a lovely spot with a classic mountain valley view and the sounds of Grohman Creek.
Access via somewhat busy forest service road - watch for other users on mountain bikes, quads, dirt bikes, trucks. High clearance vehicle recommended though the road is well maintained to this point.
Inside this cache are some of her feathers which I have saved in resin, please take one if you wish. There is also a new trackable.
Please advise of any maintenance required.
We were together almost 30 years, when I was still in high school in geeky teen form with braces on my teeth. She was actually hatched right in Taghum - the building that was the Taghum Trading Co. - some may remember the gentleman who lived there and had a flock of Macaws that would free-fly around the area. I smuggled her in to the Sunnyside Mobile Home Park park when I moved out (against the rules!), and being 120 decibels, if you were in a boat on the lake below, you could actually hear her. Somehow I never got in trouble. Later my neighbours in Rosemont queried who was always talking when I was away at work, well, there was a certain Blue & Gold culprit I said. And yes she talked, but never in all the years would she do it when I was there to witness it - maybe if my back was turned and I was washing dishes and a deer suddenly appeared on the road she would sound the property perimeter alarm of "Hi Bark!" but never could I get a video of her talking. Toe biter, cabinet destroyer, recycling shredder extraordinaire, moody like her mom, she loathed me wearing hats or sunglasses or a band-aid on my hand, but loved showers and drinking the shower water, throwing the cat food bowl around, chasing the cats, unrolling the toilet paper, watching wildlife - especially raptors in the sky that could be spotted miles away, and quiet time with mom for snuggles and scritches and preening.

My dearest friend, may you feel the sun on your face and the breeze under your wings.
You will live on forever in my heart and I will never forget you. ~ Mom
