A day of appointments split up with a great caching adventure. Started grabbing some caches around the Bibra Lake area before heading up to the city, joining in on a first to find and finishing up grabbing some Labs in Kings Park.

Had fun catching up with other cachers along the way LPN, KB & Axell33 throughout the day.

Thanks Lazarus_68 for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 2397 for me.

Chwiliwr and I decided to do our daily walk along the freeway and find the new caches and a couple of others that I hadn't found back when they were originally published in 2012. We started at the Allendale Entrance to the PSP in North Lake and walked down to the cache published earlier this morning and then back again.

Cache found without problems. Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.

No change. GZ is fenced off due to on-going construction; and therefore unavailable to any new cache even if this one were archived. Note I am keeping an eye on this and other disabled caches along the freeway cycle path, with aim to replace & re-enable as soon as is practical.

Met up here with Parkacruz after I had finished of a series by Granett that was nearby.

So another productive day. tftc

Found it. Nice to have a bit of shade to sign the log.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thought we'd take advantage of the nice autumn day today and make a start on this series. We had to watch out for packs of older cyclists in yellow jerseys, some of who were a bit rude! We also found that most of our DNF's were located in areas where Muggles tend to walk the path. It was a good day out which started out with us riding from our home to Warnbro Station and getting off at Bull Creek where we rode to Mt Henry Bridge to start from the beginning. We then rode to Cockburn Central collecting finds along the way and decided to stop here as the GeoKids were a combination of hangry and tired. Had something to eat (at 4pm!) and jumped on the train back to Warnbro Station. Our caching ride took us 4 hours. We had 29 and 7 DNF . We will endeavour tackle the next part once the the kids can be convinced to go out again LOL! Thank you for the series!

I have been looking at the periodic table series of caches for some time now. Since I have decided to complete a challenge I need the numbers hence the reason for the run today. I took the day off work and co=opted a couple of fellow cachers, Lazarus_68 and Dezzabills. I thought a couple of days would finish the series off, So today we set off early on our pushbikes with the idea of completing as many as we could manage. As it turns out we made it all the way to the end. We were very fortunate to find the caches quicker than expected. So to sum up the day we found 117 caches in the periodic table and a couple of extras along the way giving me a grand total of 119 for the day. Not bad if I say so myself, and surprisingly there were no DNF's so all in all a great day. The ride down from home in Como took us 6 hours and 58 minutes. While my fellow cachers took the train home I toughed it out and rode home in just over 2 hours. We stopped several times down and back for a break and a bite to eat to refuel the bodies.

This was the 24th find of 119 for the day and was found at 9:55AM Thanks BlaKids/loubla for the cache. hhheddy
