Hi there Lazarus_68. Today was going to be cooler so I pumped up the tyres and headed out on the freeway south from Beeliar Drive. All caches were found quickly - and the containers and logs are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to Lazarus_68 for this cache - our find 8358

Geocache number 3...yayyy!! Thank you
 
10-Aug-19
Out and about with Thro60clan to collect the rest of the caches we need to catch those dastardly villains for the Mystery at the Museum. We decided it would be easiest to ride this trail after catching the train down. After splitting into teams of two we alternated caches down to Aubin Grove station, occasionally stopping to help each other find the caches. Some finds were easier than others. Some required a bit more of a thorough search. All in all a great day with beautiful weather.
Last cache for the day. 33 out of 34 isn’t so bad! Thanks for placing these caches for us to find! And thanks to the new CO’s of maintaining them! Tftc
 
10-Aug-19
So the most caches that we have found in a day up until now was 19... but with only 1 day to go for the Mystery at the Museum to be completed a plan was hatched with thronsy.4 to tackle a section of this power trail.
Take the train to Kwinana (after reducing our crew to 4 - to streamline finds) and cycle to Auburn Grove grabbing all the caches on the way (totaling 33 finds and 1 DNF ) and then take the train back.
Pleased to say we now have a new record 33 finds. (Not as good as some others but still something. )
TFTC and thanks for keeping this series alive.
——————————————————————————
Just grabbing the last cache before catching the train back to the bus to make our way home
Hurried them up a bit and arrived at the station just in time to have a snack before the train arrived.
Back to the hustle and bustle - a jam packed train until they disembarked at the city to make their way to the All Blacks v Wallabies match.

With our bicycles we made the series from the elements.

Today I had an appointment in the city at a very early start, and what better way to spend the day than grab a few caches. The hunt for hidden animals continues, and the progress was pleasing.

Not that many muggles, and the few that were around were more interested in work or watching the kids on there holidays.

Jumped off the train at Cockburn, and walked south to Auburn Grove to grab a few more in this series.

Cool Thanks loubla for bringing me to this location. I found the cache at 2:02:00 PM. This was my Find 16 for today out of a Total number of 17 Finds and 0 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 4077.Big Grin

With Parkacruz and myself on grandparent duty we thought that we would tackle a bit more of the Periodic Table and a few others along the way, hoping to get as many souvenirs as possible for Yeatesy89 and Piknik15, we only had one dnf for the day and managed a variety of finds. So I'm not sure who is more tired, but I know that the pram must of put on at least 10 kilos by the end of the day. tftc

Out today with Nann ( Neva2old) and Parkacruz who had piknik15 with them, we had a great day caching and playing in the parks along the way. My legs are sore now. tftc

Sadly work and the festive season has interfered with our caching this month and with just a couple of days to go until the end of the month some serious caching needed to be had.
Whilst Mrs fratra headed off to work Mr fratra jumped on his new bike and hit the Freeway cycle path to hunt down some periodic table caches.
He rode from just after Cockburn central south to Thomas Rd and managed 34 finds and 3 dnfs.
TFTC loubla this is find # 3820 for us.

I decided to come out here this morning with the goal of reaching 700 finds and completing some more cycle path caches. It took About 90 minutes one way (while caching) and 15 minutes back. I had a few people ask me if I was alright, which I responded with a yes. It's nice to see how many caring people there are.

loubla, I found your cache ‘Indium - Periodic Table’ today. It was the fifth find of twenty-six finds with five DNF’s and brings my total count to 685.

The caches were found in a good condition (though some were a little wet and one had no container) so I signed the log books and replaced them as I found them. Thanks for the hides and the effort put into maintaining this series. It makes for a great power trail.
 
26-Dec-16
And still needs to be fixed. Wrapped in zip locked bag but with a broken lid and cracked tube.
Wow, a cool forecast for late December. A great opportunity to get out and bag a pile of caches today. Took the bike out on the trails today to see the sights.
This was find number 8 today at 7:55. Not sure how many I will find but way more than any previous single day.

Nice day to go for a walk and do a bit more of this series near home. Cache easily found but in poor condition needs replacing due to top and bottom being broken. Sorry did not have a container to replace it for you but did put a clip seal bag around it to protect it from the weather in the short term. Tfth.

Out with hhheddy & dezzabills polishing off this series by bike. It's been an interesting journey, reciting thru the table of elements one by one, like back in science class. The overall distance daunting, but just kept focused one at a time; having buddies help search effort and spur each other along to the end invaluable. As anticipated most caches were easy to find and in good condition, some required extra effort; couple out in the open, couple half-buried; dozen wet log papers. In hindsight I could've been prepared to dry log papers, bring a couple mint tin replacement containers.
Thank you for the cache 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 50th find of 119 for the day and was found at 11:25AM Thanks BlaKids/loubla for the cache. hhheddy
