Description
Boron
Boron is a chemical element with symbol B and atomic number 5. Produced entirely by cosmic ray spallation and supernovae and not by stellar nucleosynthesis (as we all know of course), it is a low-abundance element in the Solar system and in the Earth's crust. Boron is a component of neodymium magnets (Nd2Fe14B), which are among the strongest type of permanent magnet. These magnets are found in a variety of electromechanical and electronic devices, as well as attached to various sistemas and mint tins around the world.
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 !

using GA CACHER rather than the website is soooo much easier 
quick park and grab. TFTC.
quick park and grab. TFTC.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.

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.

Boron was found quickly like the earlier members of this series. Container and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for the information about how boron is used today. Like most caches we have made use of these magnets.
Several years ago we experienced plants suffering from a boron defficieny that was rectified by the addition of small amount of trace elements that had boron as one of its ingredients.
Thanks for the next cache in the series Fitzy_1965.

Found 5:40pm. 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. Once this was found I had a suspicion for the others. Very Quick finds. Hmm this time I noticed the code now I have to go back to the first one to see what its code was.
Thanks for the cache.

#GA1989 - 12:45; Headed out on a short caching run to fill another hole in the dZ calendar. Having located a few in this series so far, I had a fair idea of the location and the hide. I wasn't disappointed as I homed in on GZ for a quick find and sign. Grabbed the code, replaced the cache and it was off home again, mission complete. TFTC fitzy_1965

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.

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.
