Description
Lithium
Lithium is a chemical element with the symbol Li and atomic number 3. It is a soft, silver-white metal belonging to the alkali metal group of chemical elements. Under standard conditions, it is the lightest metal and the least dense solid element. Like all alkali metals, lithium is highly reactive and flammable. Lithium and its compounds have several industrial applications, including lithium batteries and lithium-ion batteries, which are mainly used world wide in the search for plastic containers hidden in the bush.
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 !

On a cool smokey morning I went out towards Lake George to get a few of the Australian Animals series and a few of these elements on the way back. The day went smoothly and I located each of the caches i looked for. A fun morning of roadside caches.
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 !

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 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.

Another easy find for Joolay and I. Lots of kangaroos in the paddocks. TFTC

Yesterday I found the first of this series when taking a walk from the IBIS Styles where I was staying. This morning as I left for the day for first chore for the day was to drive by and stop at each of the rest of this series and when all 6 had been found using the information taken from each moved on to the final of this series of six caches.

Just a short trip down the road and we reached lithium. We remember when we started teaching year twelve chemistry most labs had jars of oil containing sticks of lithium that were brought out once a year. To demonstrate how reactive this metal was pieces were left to smoulder and burst into flames on the bench top or dropped into a large trough of water. In those days noone had heard much about this metal. Now days most have lithium batteries though some science students think that a lithium mine contains deposits of the pure metal.
Lithium was found in a similar position as the two previous elements and the container and contents were in good condition. The data needed for nitrogen was recorded.
Thanks for this cache Fitzy_1965 .we were enjoying a nice little trip down memory lane relating our favorite tales about encounters with these elements.

Found 5:49pm. 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.

Second for the day, bit of traffic which was odd, but nothing so much that I didn't have a quiet time to collect. A quick and fun series. TFTC Fitzy!
Pulled up on wrong side of the road when I assumed where it was going to be. Thankfully, the road wasn't too busy and I was able to run across, find & sign log then back to the car before another car passed by.

#GA1758 - 09:30; Having completed a 60 day dragonZone streak yesterday, it was out again today to fill a hole in my dragonZone calendar. I don't think that I have enough easily accessible GCA caches to continue the streak, but plugging holes is something a little more achieveable. I had to bypass the second in the series due to muggles, so picked this one up instead. Looking forward to completing the rest of the series and wondering when the remaining 111 will appear.

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.
