Description
Hydrogen
Hydrogen is a chemical element with chemical symbol H and atomic number 1. With a standard atomic weight of circa 1.008, hydrogen is the lightest element on the periodic table. At standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen is a colourless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, nonmetallic, highly combustible diatomic gas (remember the Hindenburg??) with the molecular formula H2. Since hydrogen readily forms covalent compounds with most nonmetallic elements, most of the hydrogen on Earth exists in molecular forms such as water or organic compaonds.
This series of caches is dedicated to the Elements and the Periodic Table. While my aim is to get them all out eventually - they will broken down into subsets of caches - in this case 7 caches, 6 Traditionals and a Puzzle cache as follows :
Trad - GA10205 Hydrogen (find 'a')
Trad - GA10206 Helium (find 'b')
Trad - GA10207 Lithium (find 'c')
Trad - GA10208 Beryllium (find 'd')
Trad - GA10209 Boron (find 'e')
Trad - GA10210 Carbon (find 'f')
which you can then use to find
Mystery - GA10211 Nitrogen (find 'AA' for future reference) at S35 10.abc E149 14.def
Good Luck and Happy Hunting !

I was heading out to Sutton to visit the last few caches along mulligans flat road, and I felt I could not drive past these last two element caches again.
Thanks

I was with the CO when this series was put out. Now I have my own GCA account I have been given permission to log them.
I always enjoyed chemistry at school - just like my Dad !

I was looking for a place to leave a moveable cache and thought this was suitable, but the space was occupied 
. Anyway I signed this log and continued down the road to find an unoccupied space for the moveable. TFT unexpected C fitzy_1965.

Sorry about the generic log Fitzy_1965 but. I have lots of puzzles to solve tonight.
Today I decided to take advantage of the fabulous weather and the May Madness and go caching with the GCA caches in my sight. There were plenty to be had so I planned a circuit up to Gunning and then across to Sutton and home again via the Federal highway service road. Had to do a detour via Breadalbane to avoid driving back through a large Road Bike Race but all is well.
I found all 6 in the series but ran out of time to go for the final. Another day. All logs were signed some as SG and caches returned to their hidey holes. Thanks for the series Fitzy_1965.

Found on a family trip to Canberra and Bright. Geokids Lachnic and Zonic enjoyed the series
A quick find on a little detour while driving home from Canberra today.

Found today with Kittykatch out and about on a lovely sunny afternoon. Of course we started on the wrong end as we did not realise there was a puzzle but took no time to finish the series. Thanks Fitzy for bringing us here. It was nice to be out in some country.

Caches all found and all in good condition. All clues collected and now we need to head to find the final puzzle. Beaut little series - thanks for the trail

Grabbed this as a series of drive by snatches. I did my best impression of a tradie stopping to take a call on my mobile. TFTC

Staying at the Ibis Styles Eaglehawk whilst visiting family and friends in Canberra. With a break in the weather from the frequent showers took a stroll and got as far as GZ for this one. Knew straight away where to look for it. Signed the log, noted the required info for the series then replaced as found.
Got back to the room before another shower passed.

We were heading into the ACT today and had to pass these caches. We rarely can resist the call of a GCA but when a series of seven based on one of our favorite aids, the Periodic Table, appears on a road beside us then there is no argument we have to take time out to find them
Yes we remember the Hindenburg or rather stories and pictures of its firey end. As chemistry teachers we remember one year twelve chemistry question that asked students to explain using examples how we knew that there was no molecular hydrogen in our atmosphere. One student wrote if molecular hydrogen existed in the atmosphere all smokers would get their faces burnt off each time they lit up. This resulted in much laughter in the marking room.
Hydrogen was found with relative ease, the log signed and the data needed for nitrogen recorded. Container and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for the cache Fitzy_1965 and for taking these two old industrial chemists on a trip down memory lane.

Found 5:56pm. I was on my way back to Canberra from the Central Coast and had my eye on this group of caches so stopped to grab them and sign the logs. Yes same as the others. Very Quick find. But still got to wait for muggle vehicles, so many at this time of day.
Thanks for the cache.

Today is day 30 in a row so had to make sure that I went and got a cache to celebrate. Couldn't deviate too far off my route to work so thought the start of this series was a good one to choose.
Parked within 1m and surprised my driving companion when I got back in the car quicker than she had expected. (Had given her the heads up that I had to geocache on my way when she rang asking for a lift).

Decided to grab this series on the way home - All done before it got too dark. Done in the reverse order which meant some backtracking at the end, but not too far.
Thanks,

With no rain as per the forecast, I decided to head out this way and grab a cache or two. No worries finding all in the series and I too look forward to seeing the full set / table.
Thanks Fitzy_65 for the fun and the cache.

Another new series of caches and another reason to head out. The whole periodic table you say....well, I look forward to finding them all.
Todays little sojourn took me down a road I have been down before, with one of the caches right outside a horse property I've been to many times. Didn't look like anyone was home today, so it was on to the next one.
Thanks fitzy, a neat little series that has so many options for a puzzle or two. Look forward to finding a few more.

Just a cacher spotted these caches hitting the ether tonight so we decided to head out to bag a few.
A nice elementary drive by grab for a *FTF* with Jac.

As we get older, the lure of a nice warm bed grows, but just as we were thinking about it these caches were published, so we managed to delay being sad old people for a little while.
Thanks, Fitzy_1965, for placing these nice easy caches.
*FTF* with Black Bunny on a pleasant evening drive.
