The situation here has been reviewed again.Sufficient time has elapsed since the issues were highlighted, and nothing has been done to restore it. Circumstances that prevent timely maintenance can arise, and ample opportunity for the Cache Owner to get in touch to request a time extension has been provided.No request has been received from the Cache Owner, benson_boys, for further time to restore the cache.On this basis, it appears to have been abandoned by the Owner and, therefore, will be Archived.Caches lost in this manner will not be Unarchived.This area is now available for other interested players to utilise for cache placement if viable locations can be found.

### Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner. The cache owner needs to:* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute that is present. Otherwise :* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information.. **Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**. Alternatively:* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by benson_boys and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache. *Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.Thank youBalayang -GeoffCommunity Reviewer

Out with axell33 getting a few caches, we checked this one as we went passed and were unable to find it! Between the overgrowth and hot sun, we had to call it and move on.
 
05-Apr-24
We stopped as we passed this one and started our search. The area has a lot of overgrown area and mixed with the midday sun we werent able to locate this one. Thats not to say this one isnt there but it definitely beat us today. TFTC benson boys.

Last one we are going to look for, too many DNFs, had a good look around the obvious spot but without any hints or consistency we are going to call it for today.

I took the advantage of the dodgy weather we have had this week and cycled a bit more of the cycle path. Some of the caches need maintenance as I logged 9 DNF’s and 29 finds. The path has been pruned in areas this has contributed to difficulty in finding some. I saw my first cyclist after 20 caches but by the end of the arvo there were a few more dog walkers and mamils (middle aged men in lycra).

I enjoyed my ride and had a few sprinkles of rain though it started pelting 500m from the car on return.

Hi there benson_boys. 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 benson_boys for this cache - our find 8363

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.
Mrs. D with another find today. 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.

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

Recently I have been getting back into cycling after taking a break for a couple of years. Today I was keen to get back out onto the freeway path to shake of the cobwebs. I cached the section between Russell Road to Thomas Road with only 2 DNFs for the day. Almost all found containers were in good condition and found relatively easily. TFTC loubla and BlaKids

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 this is find # 3825 for us.

Another quick find in the logical spot. The logbook is somewhat perished, perhaps a future finder might bring a new piece of paper to replace it. TFTC Smile

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 ‘Xenon - Periodic Table’ today. It was the ninth find of twenty-six finds with five DNF’s and brings my total count to 689.

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.

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 13 today at 8:25 Not sure how many I will find but way more than any previous single day.

Enjoyed the Saturday afternoon stroll along Freeway South of Russell Road to pick up several of the “Periodic Table”. Thanks for the cache loubla. I reckon the different lid colour stumped us a bit on our out-journey but on our stroll back we had another quick look and it was a smiley face for us.

Not sure what happened here. I looked and looked but no joy. I'll return one day for another search.

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 could've been prepared to dry log papers & bring some 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 55th find of 119 for the day and was found at 11:38AM Thanks BlaKids/loubla for the cache. hhheddy

Having reached our 3,000 and enjoyed the previous outing to get the first 40 of this series we decided to tackle the stretch from Cockburn Central to Kwinana. It was a warmer day so by the time we reached Kwinana we were ready to call it a successful day. Wink
At a couple of caches we found 2 containers, so we signed the log on one and took the other which we then used to replace other broken ones further along. We also replaced a couple of logs as well and dropped in one of our tagz in a couple of caches. All up the series is in reasonable condition. Big Grin

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

This was find # 13 of 40 Smile and 5 Sad today giving us a total cache count of 3013.

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!
