~Thairis Air A Ghleann~

So now they're reunited
Smiling down from up above
As fondly we remember
The old house they filled with love
How even through the hard times
They were close as close could be
Just like the kindred spirits
They will forever be

This cache is done in honor of my Parents who are now reunited with the passing of Dad, at the young age of 91.25 years on Aug. 28, 2012.

They gave me life on 9/20/1947 and on 9/20/2012 they are honored by me and my children.

Experience on Crosier is tantamount to this cache, be prepared for full day in the back country.
In order to find the final location you will need to find the other two caches on Crosier Mtn. that are done in their respective honor.
One of the caches will have the easting and the other will have the northing of the final location.
•~Mac's~
•~Anne's~

Once you have the cordinates the easy part begins for it is downhill now.

All it takes is a few micro beers to come up with the decision that Denali 41 and me and my sons will pay a visit to this cache on what would of been my folks 72 anniversary. So on May 28, 2017 I will be up on Crosier.
Time to start some training.

After finding Anne and the final coordinate for this one, I was planning on waiting until another day to do the final (didn't want to open all my presents at once), but as we passed it on the way home, the temptation was too great. What a surprise to come out of the deary and monotonous forest into this! You'd have no idea it was even there if you weren't led to it. Cache was easy to find, but it was largely swagless, so we left the tin cup we took from TCMS and added a bandanna and a pathtag.

I've really enjoyed doing this series (mostly because it doesn't have any *&!@$ marbles in it). The caches come together wonderfully in this final spot. Thanks for putting together a marvelous adventure for the rest of us.

(My first 5/5! Woohoo!)

Another amazing Tahosa cache! Fantastic view from this special memorial place. A fitting tribute. I had The Nutty Irishman with me today. He was able to log 4 caches while travelling with me to get this one! We had a fantastic hike. The weather was picture perfect, cloudless sky, temp in the 60's with a light breeze. See the pics for some of the available views while going after this cache. Thank you again Tahosa and Denali41!! :-)

Although listed as co-owner of this cache, the position is an "honorary" one given by Tahosa and Sons for the work I performed on hiding the wonderful tribute Multi-cache. That required revisits to the two remarkable caches that separately honor Tahosa's parents (Anne and Mac) to place information in the lids of those cache containers that is used to determine the coordinates for Thairis Air A Ghleann, and the other field work. Today, after hiking up West Crosier Mountain to find "Kesugi", I had time to come up the Crosier Mountain Trail above Piper Meadows and re-find this cache and again pay tribute to Tahosa's parents--with this cache that memorializes their rejoining one another in the afterlife. The hike swept me with memories of some fine times I've enjoyed on this mountain with Tahosa and Corey and Denali Queen and with several groups of some fine cachers I've brought on Geoteering and Geotouring loops to find Tahosa's other great caches on this wonderful mountain. The final of this Multi is in a superb location for sitting and thinking and reflecting on the past and considering the future. I did some of this, and my puppy Orizaba remained patient while I did so. Yes, this cache was also placed on September 20th! What you seek is 14.332 km east of the listed coordinates of this multi-cache. Thanks, Tahosa, for your guidance in so many ways. This is a cache of your creation and design that you will TRULY appreciate the final location of when you return to Colorado and resume hikes on your mountain.
