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. Had to do a little car shuffling so we could have one at the start and one at the end of todays caching, happy to say that we managed the periodic series and few others close by with no dnf's. So another productive day. tftc

The tube on this one is cracked. Placed the cracked side down in case of rain.

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

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!

Decided to get energetic today and get some smileys on the infamous Periodic Table Caches! Headed out early with Reborn995 and began a four hour walk along the Highway finding caches left right and center with only a couple of unfortunate DNF’s along the way! We had managed to find our 600th Cache during the adventure too, which was awesome! All in all it was a great day with perfect weather and lots of smileys!!! Thanks For The Caches!!!

Took a little,walk along the freeway to clear a few of this trail. All caches were easily found

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 25th find of 119 for the day and was found at 9:58AM Thanks BlaKids/loubla for the cache. hhheddy

We are on a mission to reach 2999 before the Leap Year event in a week's time and needed 50 caches, so decided to hit the Periodic power trail and see how many we could get done in the time available. We were fortunate to have a cool day with an occasional refreshing mist / drizzle which made the cycling a pleasant experience for a February day. Made it from Mt Henry bridge to Cockburn Central in the time allotted so we were well pleased with our efforts.
We found the series in good repair with only 1 broken container and 1 full log which unfortunately we didn't have spares today. Will carry some when we do the next stage south.
Thanks BlaKids & LouBla for an enjoyable morning's caching Big Grin.

Thanks for the cache BlaKids [^] - we made the find and the cache was in good order and the log dry Cool.

This was find # 25 of 40 Smile and 0 Sad today giving us a total cache count of 2975.

Hello BlaKids - I found this cache today (my find # 3468) and the cache is in good condition. My day today began at Cockburn Central and after parking the car I headed north towards Leach Highway. The path is great to follow and generally level (an advantage with my old legs). Most caches are in good condition however some containers (sorry I didn't note which ones) are cracked and need replacement. SL. Thanks to BlaKids for the cache.

Up in Perth for a week from Albany, this trail was number one on the list of things to do. Starting in Perth and riding south we managed to find most caches in the series with only 4 that we couldn't find! We had some test tubes of our own which we replaced with some of the more broken containers but unfortunately didn't have enough to replace them all. Thanks for the epic series guys and also for maintaining them so well!

I have been wanting to come down here for a ride and tackle some of this series for a while now. And I just got the chance to come down here today. There were 2 Did Not Find's today and 21 Finds. This cache was one of the finds. Most caches were found easily with the odd one or two hard ones.
BlaKids, I found your cache 'Chromium (24) - Periodic Table' today. It was the ninth of 21 finds and is my busiest day so far. The cache was found in a good condition so I replaced it as I found it. Thanks For The Cache.

Given a whole day to go caching in Perth the inner scientist in Freddo could not resist the geeky awesomeness of a Periodic Table PT. With bicycle supplied by .K.B. I travelled by train to Kwinana and folllowed the trail of elements from one end to the other. The cache finds ranged from seen as I arrived, to hides that have me looking for twice the 3 minutes I had allowed. Some caches were replaced. A few caches were unfound and will stand as DNF's.
I know these elements. My job as a metallurgist means that I deal with a large portion of the common 92 at work. There was a sense of pride reeling them off. And then there was the joy of cruising along on a bike on a beautiful winter day that actually feels like an Indian summer.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This cache was found using a Garmin GPSr, Montana 650t, Oregon 550 or Dakota 20. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Day fifty seven of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747.
We loaded up the deadly treadlies after dropping the car off for it's service in Fremantle and hit the Periodic Table Series trail at Bull Creek. We worked our way south until we came to where we had finished up a month ago (about #66), then jumped the train at Kwinana for the trip back to Bull Creek. We then completed the last four elements heading north to Perth.
Unfortunately a large collection of DNFs, and one replacement container, and a few replacement logs.
Lovely day for a ride though, and (apart from the DNFs) loved the trail.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 8223. Day 2 of our week in Fremantle and Rob's car is in for a service at Melville. We decided to try to finish off the Periodic Table series that we started in late April, by riding down the trail to Kwinana Station and catching the train back to Bull Creek Station before riding back to the Ford Dealer. It turned out to be a 38km day, not altogether successful with 57 smilies and frustratingly, 10 DNFs.

We replaced a couple of logs and one container, but some of the other logs have got rather damp and are looking mouldy and a big time-worn although generally there are plenty of spots left for signing.

Thanks BlaKids

Back again to have a shot at the first 40 caches in this series

My goal is to get my 1000 before the holidays end and this made a good imapct on it.

Started at Yttrium at 7.30, 2 1/2 hours later I finished at Horcruxes caches at 11am.
40 Finds in hand and 3 DNFs Very Happy

Most being easy finds. A couple of hunts took some time but all in all a great morning.

Thanks BlaKids and loubla for this awesome series.
Sorry about the generic logs but its hard to remember all of them in a power trail.

I had some spare time this morning so I decided to jump on the bike and see how far south I could ride. I got as far as Russell Road which is a record for me. I took a more leisurely pace on the way back, find some freeway caches and incidental munzees along the way. Tftc

Danee44 and I continued our walk along the freeway today to pick up another section of the periodic tables caches. A 5km walk in just under an hour. A great start to the day without a DNF.

Again, all caches were found spot on with co-ords. Thanks again for this series.

I'm Looking forward to meeting other geocachers at WA GOES BIG IN 2015, in Busselton.
