no luck

Grabbing a bunch along this trail. TFTC

Such a beautiful sunny Winters day so after attending an afternoon appointment I decided the next couple of hours would be best spent on the treadley knocking off a few of The Periodic Table series of caches.

My strike rate was a bit hit and miss along the way sometimes moving along after only a short search due to time constraints so there were a few DNF's in the mix. But seeing as most containers had been either replaced or checked recently, I was thankful for 14 finds today.

Great to see this epic series being maintained so many thanks to Cirrus_WA and to BlaKids for placing the series initially. What a huge task!


Another kind hide. TFTC ᓚᘏᗢ

Heading south collecting a few more in this series. Thanks Cirrus_wa for the new container, first to sign the new log.

New container in place.

Out for a cycle today to grab the final caches in the periodic table series. I alighted at Warnbro Station with my bike, cycle along Safety Bay Rd via Baldivis and then hit the tarmac. Finished up at Kwinana and enjoyed a well air conditioned train ride back up the freeway. All caches were in good condition unless otherwise mentioned below. Thanks to all the COs.

While the log is dry now, there has clearly been moisture intrusion during
Winter through the crack container so you may want to consider replacing by mid next yearCheers Cirrus_WA!

Got a smiley face.

After a big morning at Lake Walyungup, I thought I’d hit the PT series from the bottom of the table up. I made 19 finds and one DNF in the series. This is an excellent series spanning a huge distance. Well done on maintaining it. TFTC

Out on the bike today to find some caches along the Kwinana Freeway. Quick find here 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 BlaKids & LouBla (adopted by CJ_252) this is find # 7919 for us.

Yay.

Another 7.6km walk with the young fella to clear up a few caches along the freeway cycle path. Found 12 of 15 (including one at a nearby park) with 3 DNF. Tanks for placing these caches.

Making my way down this trail

Out for a caching run with 2 of the younger geokids and NoseyNorwells to collect some more of the Periodic Table series.

A nice quick find by NN. The kids took on signing duties before replacing cache as found. Tftc

Teamed up with BRF to grab some of our first Periodic table series. TFTC

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

Well placed... Looks like another new development of on its way. The housing sprawl never ends.

Thought I might start to tackle the periodic table series this weekend as I strangely have the weekend off. Packed loads of water as temps going to be 39 today but I was not to be deterred!

Not many people out, not surprising with the heat so no muggle issues!

TFTC! LS! RAF!

Out for an afternoon walk, to continue on the periodic system series.

Found this one eventually!

TFTC

That took way longer than it should have. Thanks for the cache!

This was a DNF for me 13 months ago, Today a different story. I'm in the area trying to eliminate all the DNFs of mine from my last visit. Thanks CJ_252. Success here. Nearby workers made it a bit tricky.

New log sheet in place.

PT103 Lawrencium was transferred from BlaKids to user CJ_252

Spent the day completing the southern section of the PT Series.

Started up at Mortimer Rd and had an enjoyable walk southward.

Ended the that with 25 finds and 5 DNF’s that I will rectify soon. TFTC.

Found by Rocky Horror Hunters. Water logged. Log damaged

Out with Nanny & Poppy aka parkacruz to find some more geocaches TFTC

We headed out with Piknik15, Neva2old and Yeatesy89 to finish off the rest of the period table and others around the suburbs, happy to say the mission was accomplished. TFTC

Out and about with Parkacruz, piknik15 & yeatesy89 early trying to beat the rain and finish off the periodic table and a few others close by. Happy to say we made it. tftc

Out today with Nan (neva2old) Parkacruz and Piknik15. we want to finish off the periodic table. We finished it and also found some others tftc

Today’s mission, find 54 caches so I can get that World Turtle Souvenir. 13 down, 41 to go. TFTC

A nice quick one again All ok tftc

Quick grab on morning ride. Tftc

For more information see Tennessine (117).

As mentioned in previous logs, the container is broken. However, the logsheet is in a sturdy baggie so should stay dry. TFTC

Quick find TFTH

This one didn’t take long to spot. The logbook was drenched, so Leega replaced it with some paper in a sealed bag, that should keep it going for awhile. Time for the next one. TFTC BlaKids.

Got with axell33 and the geopups, soggy wet so wrapped log in tissues, added new bit of paper and put it all in a new placci bag. Tyftc.

5 - 10 minute look. Did not find it.

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 weekend of caching with Pood, 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). We had a lovely ride with a gentle breeze keeping the temperature down for most of the way. My knees were a bit sore by the end but it was certainly an enjoyable and worthwhile morning with most of the caches quick finds shared amongst the 3 of us. The only dampener was the 2 DNFs in a row but that makes it easier to fix. TFTC and series LouBla and BlaKids

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

We did a little bit of maintenance as we went with the odd log book, but some are in bad condition.

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

The ride continues, and still not too hot. Megawat60, WebblyWA and I take turns being the lucky finders, we sign the log (as M, W & M for speed and so we dont take up too much log space!) and onto the next one. TFTC!

A bit warm out there this morning in our attempt to complete the Periodic Table. Had to be on the look-out for any of our reptilian friends but breathing easy now. Thanks for setting up this lengthy set of caches BlaKids and loubla.

Decided today was a great day for a bike ride and some caching along the way so what better series to do than this one!So we took off early this morning to see how many we could find before the bike seat became a pain in the butt! SL TFTC

The newbie is having a ball TFTC

On such a beautiful day, the whole team combined to complete this last section of the power trail that we had not found. Jax the geopooch had an absolute ball and given that there were few cyclists, so did we. All nine remaining caches were found in good or relatively good condition thanks to excellent coordinates. Thanks to you guys for maintaining such an iconic series.

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 104th find of 119 for the day and was found at 2:12PM Thanks BlaKids/loubla for the cache. hhheddy

Found Lawrencium (103). TFTH BlaKids.

Number 4 for the day. Found lying out in the open, placed back but hidden. TFTC

Quick find and signed the log. TFTH

Loved the sounf of frogs from the fields

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

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.

Glad to be stoping in a bit of shade

Decided today to finish off the periodic table series and rack up some numbers. Threw the treadly into the back of the ute and parked up near Sulphur Rd, Headed south along the bike path and came back via some of the back roads. 28k's and about 6½ hours later I was back at the car totally knackered. Spent a good portion of the return journey walking the bike along the busier roads.

Another quick find in the obvious spot.

BlaKids I found your cache at 9:23am, this was the 18th of 37 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2885. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

SLTFTC

I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers in Pinjarra at the 'WA GOES BIG IN 2016' event on the 4th - 5th June. Registrations now open.

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!

Tftc Cheers

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

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.

Lawrencium - Periodic Table was transferred from loubla to user BlaKids

Maintenance performed. Replaced temporary container with one of our originals. Thanks everyone for helping in this recently burnt out area.

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.

# 8017. 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.

The last of the fire-damaged caches - no trace of it so left a micro-sized black container (similar to film canister) behind the big burnt gum tree.

Thanks loubla

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 17 out of 59 for today. Also our total find number 2506
Thanks loubla for this hide.

I was nervous for snakes while prancing through the long grass, but it was the ants I should have been wary about. 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 15 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.

After completing the northern part of this series yesterday, I wanted to strike while the iron was hot today and finish off the southern part. I left home at 8.30am and returned home at 12.40pm after a 33.1km ride with 39 caches and no DNFs. I thoroughly enjoyed the series, and will be happy to do the ride again to collect the few smilies that I missed yesterday. Thanks for the ride and the series loubla and BlaKids.

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

A lovely day for a bike ride along the freeway with S'n'N to find some caches.

Got up early again to do the second half of this series. I didn't quite get to the end but managed 53 finds and only 2 dnf today. I think that leaves me with 17 to go. It was freezing this morning and I struggled to sign the log. It think its legible. Thanks again for this great series loubla and blakids.

TFTC. Back to get some more.

Team Hay-Lee

Found today on our geo bike caching expedition along the freeway cycle path . Quick find, log signed and we were soon on our way. Thanks for putting this cache here. Some really big spiders around this area. All good with the cache.

# 5847

This morning we started to do the second part of the periodic table series, as the first part was only published until no. 80 last year in January. Fortunately it was not as hot as yesterday, but 26° was still warm. It was a nice bike ride along the freeway and we found all containers, saw lots of very big spiders [xx(] and finally solved the Periodic Table.

TFTC and best regards from Germany.

Final one for today. Until we meet again.

I got on the train in Rockingham with my bike and got off at Kwinana train station where I started my caching trip south to Baldivas. This was a very hot day to go caching. I got just less than 40 caches in two hours and one DNF. Thanks for a great trail and tomorrow we will tackle the northern section. Greetings from Sweden.

TFTC!

Greetings from Japan! I found this cache with Mushin-no-shin on our holiday trip to Australia! I was delighted that we were able to rent bicycles and do this power trail while we were in town! It was my first time doing a cycling power trail, but I think it is now my favorite type! We found all but three of the caches in the original series and set new personal records for most geocaches in a day! TFTC!
~Aoi

On the bikes for a 90 min run searching for small containers. Thanks for putting out this caches each cache we found was hidden in various ways which made the searching interesting all logs nice and dry.

Half way there now, ie. towards Mundijong Road. Loving it! Easy find . Signed log, TFTC loubla.

Left early this morning to do the caches along the Kwinana Freeway.
Fantastic bike and walking track, a great location to have this type of trail.
We started at safety Bay Road, and stopped at Rowley Road.
Many thanks for the cache, loubla.

I didn't quite complete the series 2 weeks ago and this is my second stage to finish this series. It has been a very good series with a few DNF to come back too.. I had one DNF today and all the rest were varied it time spent in looking...This has been a great series TFTC BlaKids

On a roll and cruising through them now.tftc

Found while Joo jogged and Eth rode his bike. Managed to avoid the showers for a couple of hours.

Generic log: Decided to do the portion of this series between Mortimer Road and Mundijong Road today. Parked the geo-Camry on Johnson Road near Millar Road and headed North to do first 7 caches on the list. Then headed back to do the ones South of Millar Road ... ended up doing first two caches South of Mundijong Road as well before heading back to the geo-Camry ... a 10k round trip on foot all up and thoroughly enjoyed. SL.

Thanks for the cache and the series Loubla and BlaKids
