Description

Beryllium

Beryllium is a chemical element with symbol Be and atomic number 4. It is a relatively rare element in the universe.

The commercial use of beryllium requires the use of appropriate dust control equipment and industrial controls at all times because of the toxicity of inhaled beryllium-containing dusts that can cause a chronic life-threatening allergic disease in some people called berylliosis. Emerald are a naturally occuring compound of Beryllium, so dont grind them up and sniff them.

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 !

BYO Pen.

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. Dancing

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. Dancing

We are getting the hang of the series and picking up the clues as we go. Thanks again Fitzy Smile

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 Very Happy

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.

After lithium it was off down the road to pick up beryllium. Alas we have no emeralds so will not be in danger of grinding them up and sniffing the dust. I guess there is always some one who will try something like this in the vain hope of getting a thrill, wouldn't be cheap if emeralds were used.

Again good coordinates lead to a quick find but we had to wait a little while as the traffic was getting heavier. We were glad we had almost finished this little group of caches.

Thanks for this cache Fitzy_1965.

Found 5:46pm. 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 vehicle so many at this time of day.
Thanks for the cache.
 
Nice easy find. Thanks

Third 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!
 
20-Jun-17
Another quick find on the way to work this morning. Had a bit of cover with such thick fog but need not have worried as no cars passed whilst I was there. Next clue collected.

#GA1771 - 15:15; I had to pop out on an errand and thought I'd take the opportunity to grab this cache and fill another hole on my dZ calendar. It was a bit further along from the previous find than I'd anticipated, but I made it all the way there and quickly had the cache in nhand. TFTC fitzy_1965 Very HappyClan Cerberus

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.

Thanks for the cache series fitzy_1965.

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. Smile
Thanks, Fitzy_1965, for placing these nice easy caches.

*FTF* with Black Bunny on a pleasant evening drive.
