After recent DNF replaced this with Mint Tin in tree fork

Looks like a fence has been put up since placement. Found a sparkly lid similar to previous finds but no container or log.

27/10/21 - I’m on #165 forgot to bring a pen

Made a small dent in this series yesterday so came back for some more today with sidekick Lndnlad. Plus the weather has been sensational.. perfect for getting back on the trusty bike.

We knocked off 18 caches in this epic series with 0 DNF's which made for a very enjoyable couple of hours. Nice to see this series has been kept alive and maintained so a big thanks to the original and current CO's for their efforts. Looking forward to completing more of the series soon.

Out doing some cyclocaching and tackling some of the Periodic Table of the Elements power series with hunterzed on a beautiful sunny day. Hoping to burn some calories and log a few on the way thanks to the OG CO’s and the current CO for looking after this series.

Getting a few more in this series.

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.

I spent too much time at the sheoak but then wandered along the fence and found it low.

Back down this way doing a few more of the series. No more DNF here. TFTC

Replacement in place, very low, No need to scale fence

No sign of this one so I shall return and with CO's approval place a replacement

I wasn't about to jump the fence so nada for me.

Starting to think I’m not very good at this

Found in good condition

Found out and about with Geo-daughter for an early morning look. Lots of Cyclist passing by made it difficult sometimes to locate the caches. Found 4 of the 5 that we looked for. TFTC

Out and about on the bike today to complete some caches along the freeway. Quick find here TFTC

quick find here. all good on a lovely day for a ride south..cache and log in excellent condition tftc

Had a great day with The-Shredder doing the remaining ones from this series. TFTC Skyryser

What a nice day with Skyryser. We finally finished this series. Thanks for all the caches along the bike path. TFTC

Perfect weather to cycle another section of the Periodic Table.
TFTC Placed by loubla, maintained by TreeFrogsWA this is find # 7907 for us.

A little time this afternoon to continue the search for lost Jewels. The mystery is getting real.

So today I had to do a walk for Physio, the broken foot is mending, what a great day to do the walk and grab a few caches

Thanks TreeFrogsWA for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 14:07:00. This was my Find 13 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 signed the log and returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 4724.

Nice that we didn’t have to scale the fence. Great positioning

33rd and final find for the day

Making my way down this trail

With our bicycles we made the series from the elements.
Here we began with Nr. 49 and are able to find every cache. Some logbook was wet, than we spent a new sheet of paper. So it was an successful day and we had a lot of fun.
Thank you and greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi

Out grabbing a few of the periodic series between Aubin Grove and Kwinana, as well as an assortment of caches around the Kwinana, Parmelia and Wellard areas. Ended the day with 49 finds. All caches were in good condition, unless otherwise stated below.

Found with no issues. Cheers!

We found it! (Hadn’t found before adopting)
Replaced log book
All good here now

As I walked past this one to my first find of the afternoon I said to myself surely there will be a cache here, on the return trip I was proved right, TFTC.

Today’s mission, find 54 caches so I can get that World Turtle Souvenir. 33 down, 21 to go.

A nice quick one again All ok tftc

Trying to get more soveniors with Nan ( Neva2old) Parkacruz and piknik15 before I go back to school. Nan and Lusa have theirs already. Tftc

Another fun filled day today with Piknik15, Neva2old and yeatesy89, we headed along the freeway again to knock off some more of the periodoc caches and grabbed a couple of extras on the way back, a few of the caches along here are deteriorating and some logs are pretty wet but we still managed to scribe our names TFTC

Out with Nanny & Poppy aka Parkacruz, neva2old and yeatesy89 to find some geocaches, another fun day on my bike TFTC

Another day of being super grandparents with Parkacruz , yeatesy89 and Piknik15. We were so lucky not a drop of rain just sunshine nor a tear was shed. We managed a few more along the periodic table and some others along the way. tftc

Quick grab on morning ride. Tftc

Nice quick find. Out on the bikes. Hoping to complete the series today. TFTC

After an unnecessary jump over the fence we found it!

Found while in Rockingham for the WAGB17 event. Took a short stroll along the bike path for awhile to find this one. Another easy find but my last on this series for a while. TFTC.

A day of geocaching along the kwinanna freeway, today I want to do from Aubin grove to kwinanna stations

And that's the last one for today, big thankyou to the co for maintaining these caches, I'll I will be back to finish the series.

Tftc

Cashers intuition.... Where else could it be? Thanks.

Thanks, S+C

Thank you! As I had a day off work, Photo_Play and I teamed up today to do the Periodic Table caches south of Thomas Road. Knowing that rain was expected in the afternoon, we made an early start on the bicycles. Most caches were straightforward finds, with a couple requiring a more thorough search.

Found It. TFTC BlaKids. My Visa was still current, so I teamed up with Ullyssia and came down to complete the Periodic Table series south from Thomas rd. Great series.

Out and about finishing the periodic table today, hopefully it stays nice and cool for this short run today.

A caching weekend with Pood, today was much warmer on the bikes, but have enjoyed the hunts TFTC

Im after numbers for January and what better way to start than with some periodic table caches. I picked up m4yb at the end in Baldivas so she could leave her car there to save a ride back before heading to the Kwinana Train station (Free parking on Public holidays). Here we met up with Megawat60 and started our morning bike ride south (Hopefully early enough to beat the heat). This one was the first one for the day log was slightly damp but still usable. Nice quick find to start the day off. TFTC loubla

Out with WebblyWA for her numbers and m4yb for the exercise before it gets too hot.

Thanks for the series and I am glad to have it ticked off the list bar the few DNF's

Second find of our public holiday georide, another find by WebblyWA. TFTC!

A little damp but did not need to jump the fence.
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 40 of 46 today at 11:03.

Super day for a ride this morning and what better than to pick up a few caches. Thanks loubla

I like these for a quick find. You need stealth as there are so many cyclists zooming along. They must think I'm nuts just standing there looking at my phone acting bored TFTC

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!

tftc blakids

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 85th find of 119 for the day and was found at 1:24PM Thanks BlaKids/loubla for the cache. hhheddy

Out on the trail again with the geodog to extend our row of smiley faces. Cache in good condition. TFTC!

Found Polonium. Cache container cracked and log sheet wet, but writable. TFTH loubla.

Out for a ride today, to pick up some caches, and what a misson it was. Started at Cockburn shopping centre,and finished off at Baldivis, 26 km of pain. 76 finds and 3 dnfs for the day.Thanks to Roma308 for joining the misson.Tftc sl tnln.

Went out for a bike ride with jackyleggs, we rode almost 30 kms
It was good exercise, but we pulled up a bit sore.

Nice day to progress with some caches.
Thank you

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.
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.

Thanks for the cache loubla [^] - we made the find and the cache was in good order and the log dry .
Dropped in one of our tagz here

This was find # 40 of 40 and 5 today giving us a total cache count of 3040.

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!

Loved being able to stay on the bike for this one tftc

On holidays from SA staying with Yangebup Mick , Had previously done the middle section , Was dropped off down south and Picked up at the Leach Hwy , Thanks for the fun BlaKids

TFTC! A sunny day and perfect for a geokid friendly cycling expedition. We started at Kwinana and are working our way back to Perth.

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 thirty one of the WA road trip with BettyBoo3747.
Spent the day on the deadly treadlies riding a part of the Periodic Table Series. We started in the lower third at Francium, and went south until we ran out of elements, then back to the car for a picnic lunch.
After lunch we headed north as far as Holmium before calling it a day.
Two DNFs and a few replaced containers due to fire damage (BB will send you an email with details), but on the whole most were good hides, and very accurate co-ordinates.
A good sized container to base the power trail upon.
Lots of bike riding muggles (and a caching one - Hi, Clan-Wallace!), but most had their head down speeding along the trail.
A lovely day for a ride and cache.
Thanks for this section of the trail, Robmc.

# 8033. Another lovely Autumn Day, albeit a bit smoky, so Robmc and Idecided to take the bikes out again and make a good start on the Periodic Table Series. It is a great bike path and mostly protected against the wind and the noise - but not always. Francium was our first one in the series and then we headed south. It took us two hours to complete that 30, with 1 DNF - with a few longer searches and some cache maintenance along the way. After lunch we then rode northwards to grab another 19 and 1 DNF.

I have done a few puzzles based on the Table but some of these names today I have found very amusing - Nobelium, Rutherfordium, Mendelevium, Einsteinium, Curium etc. Sounds like they have just been made up to fill in some gaps. I know many are the names of scientists or universities but still they amuse me.

Thanks loubla

Headed Off early this morning on my scooter to complete a big section of this series.
My goal is to get my 1000 before the holidays end and this made a huge imapct on it.

Started at Einsteinium at 8.00am, 3 1/2 hours later I finished at Zirconium at 11.30am.
60 Finds in hand and No DNFs

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

Had to replaced a couple as they were broken.

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.

Decided to finally give a few of this series a go (on foot) - just the ones close to home.
Great series. TFTH

Having a go at the '300 caches per month challenge' so need to knock off some power trails. Jumped on the train at Cockburn Central with the bike and got off at Kwinana to ride back and clean up all the 'Periodic Table' caches along the way. Unfortunately I had a blowout on the bike and had to walk the last 5 or 6 k's. 44 finds with two DNF's not a bad afternoons work I reckon.

Didnt have to get off the bike for this one and a nice shady spot to boot.

Nearly finished this section. This was a little unexpected. Neat hide!

Headed Off with Geoson this morning on the bikes to complete a major section of this series.
It was frustrating me seeing all those green icons on the side of the freeway as I drove to work so I wanted to get rid of them

3 1/2 hours, 19km, and a lot of smileys later, we called it quits. A great run with most being easy finds. A couple of hunts, and scrambles but all in all an enjoyable morning.

All the caches and logs are in good condition. Some of the logs looking a bit tired but definatley will last a bit longer.

This was cache number 36 out of 59 for today. Also our total find number 2525
Thanks loubla for this hide.

Nice arvo bike with the geokids to knock off a few more of these near home. Tftc

Originally found under family caching name clan-wallace, now re logging under own name.

This series caught our eye back in UK before visiting family in Secret Harbour, so we decided to make a start. Got dropped off at Kwinana Station and cycled south to Safety Bay road. It was a good bike path and very quiet, only meeting a couple of other cyclists. We did meet a couple of snakes and a really nasty looking, large spider. The caches were all reasonably easy to find, barring a couple. The coordinates were mostly very accurate and we had a really good day. TFTC.

After a bike ride around Wellard, I decided to go out to the Freeway and ride north from Mundijong Road to Thomas Road, finding the Periodic Table cache series as I went along. I had much success today, finding all of them along this section of the path. Most were quite easy, but a few had me scrounging for a little while. TFTC BlaKids

Introduced to geocaching by a workmate and really liked the idea of it. Found a few with him and was hooked pretty quickly. He said to try this power trail because it was a good way to get an understanding of what this treasure hunt is all about and a great way to start off. Got a few tips and tricks with a good briefing, signed me up with an account and said to call if I got stuck. Well i must say that once the first couple were found the rest seemed to just jump out. I got the knack of this I think. Had such a good time finding them i didn't read about the elements, will do that tonight when at home by myself and the place is kid free. Was told to cut and paste a big story onto each one so, I guess this is it. Had the day off work and the missus has the kids over in Merredin for the weekend. Got up early today, packed a bag of goodies and the dusty mountain bike and I set off. Backpack full of water and plenty of sangas, I was set for the day. Wasn't sure if I would get to the end but was determined to find a bunch. I reckon the kids will love this when they get back.

Find 34 of 57
Our second day on this power trail with a stretch objective to do all 57 caches that were left - objective achieved, our only DNF at Sodium which was expected after a run of DNFs since the path was re-modelled through that section. Train to Kwinana, ride down to Safety Bay, turn north for 35 caches all found quickly before lunch at Cockburn Central. Quick ride half way to Murdoch then 22 more caches to the finish and the train home from Canning Bridge. An excellent day out, thanks Loubla and BlaKids.

such a beautiful day today so mADE the most of it and got the mountain bike out to tackle some more of this series. quite a few bobtails on the path enjoying the sun. no snakes yet!! tftc

I did the northern part of this series on the bike yesterday, starting at Hydrogen (Canning Bridge) and stopping at Lead (Thomas Rd). I wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and collect the rest of the series today. I headed off from home about 8.30am and returned home at 12.40pm after a 33.1km ride. Today was a much better caching day, with no DNFs. A very enjoyable ride and series, which I will be happy to do again to collect the few along the way that I had to DNF yesterday. TFTC.

We thought today would be a good day for a bike ride, so what better than to ride the Kwinana Freeway Bike Trail and indulge both our passion for caching and interest in science by completing the Periodic Table Of The Elements.
We probably ‘bit off more than we could chew’, but what do you do then? Take bigger bites and chew like mad!!
Both Mr & Mrs SKI have completed science degrees in their youth, Mr SKI an Applied Chemistry one. We actually met at Uni in some shared chemistry and physics classes. Mrs SKI uses her qualification regularly, but this may be the first time Mr SKI has really made use of his in over 35+ years. A dubious statistic!
We really enjoyed the ride on another of Perth’s fabulous bike tracks. They are wonderful. Thanks to the crew for the considerable effort that has gone into producing the series.
Apologies for the generic log, but at the end of a long day we are unable to remember individual hides.
TFTC

Log replaced. Happy caching.

Dropped off long held travelbug. Sorry about the delay in getting it into a 'legal' cache.
