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!


Got it. Didn’t want to slip into green muck below so was extra careful, TFTC ᓚᘏᗢ

Heading south collecting a few more in this series. Thanks cirrus_wa for the maintenance.

New container 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.

Container’s lid has seen better days with cracking occurring. Log was full so I have added a new, waterproof log. May want to consider replacing the lid or container too next maintenance check. Cheers Cirrus_WA!

A bike rider saw me on his way south earlier and here he come past me again. He asked if I was right. “All good mate”.

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. Another 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 # 7921 for us.

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.

Not so quick this time but wasn't too long before NN made the find. Miss 5 signed and NN Mr6 rehid. Tftc

Teamed up with BRF to grab some of our first Periodic table series. Master L found this cache and was rather impressed with himself. 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

Nice and close to the track... Thanks.

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.

Another log with my name on it

Quick find TFTH

Whilst in the area we thought we would knock a couple more off the periodic table. The Geohound enjoy the walk on a nice sunny day. Nice quick find with this one. TFTC BlaKids.

A walk to grab a couple of the periodic table with axell33 and the geohound. This place will be fully of houses soon. Tyftc.

Dubnium - Periodic Table was transferred from loubla to user BlaKids

Quick find. Log sheet is reasonably dry. Thanks for the cache.

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 Loubla. 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.

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

Another quickie 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.

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 106th find of 119 for the day and was found at 2:20PM Thanks BlaKids/loubla for the cache. hhheddy

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!

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.

One more quick find
TFTGC

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.

A quick find on this one.

loubla I found your cache at 9:33am, this was the 20th of 37 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2887. 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.

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.

# 8019. 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 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.

I found this in the open but is now safe and sound where I think it should have been.

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 15 out of 59 for today. Also our total find number 2504
Thanks loubla for this hide.

Nice easy one. More my style than scratching around in bush. Spiders are getting bigger as day progesses. 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 13 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.

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.

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.

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.

Decided to take an early morning train trip South and cycle back home picking up a few caches along the way. Thanks. Great fun.

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.
TFTC

Well on top of this section now. Another nice 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 looked all over for this one and just could locate it....My eyes let me down on this one....

starting to feel the heat on me third one lol. 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

Set off this morning on a hired bike to do most of the remainder of this series still have left to find - managed to find 68, with no DNFs. It was a lovely day for a ride, and as I hadn't ridden in years it was a bit of an adventure, the round trip being about 40km. Pulled up not too much worse for wear surprisingly, although got quite saddle sore towards the end and was very happy to see the car again.
Most of them were very quick finds, some took a bit of scouting around and only one really tricky one. Not too many cycling muggles about either, and only one pedestrian spotted.
Thanks for this cache and the series loubla.

TFTH

Tftc.

Round 3 at this series for me and quite a successful one all in all. I was again at the mercy of iphone battery but managed to get about 40 of this series.

Mostly hasty finds for me with the spot on coords! A massive thanks to the CO's for a great series.

tftc

So my car was in the shop for a service, so I was twiddling my thumbs wondering what to do with my day,
so I jumped on a train from Joondalup and headed South to Warnboro with the pushy and cycle back North Caching as I went.

I had found the top half of this series a year or so ago, so the second half had been in my pending folder
since it was released.

Today the conditions were perfect, nice and cool, so made my way up the cycle path quickly, even on my
single speed pushy, making the finds as I went.

100% find rate today. Found all 59 rom 59 hides, all but two were straight foreword, due to spot on coords.

A couple that took me a little longer, I think had suffered from a little "drift", but were still found after a bit
of a rummage.

Cheers guys for putting out such a great series, and for keeping it so well maintained.

TF all the C's.

Mr Bert tried and tried but could not find this one! Will be back!!! Onwards to find the rest......

Periodic Table series Part II

It was another great day for a ride after completing Part I a few weeks ago from Farrington Rd to Thomas Rd. I headed out with another two teams AlliedOz and The Fitzys, So we started from the petrol station at Thomas Rd over pass and made our way to the end which i beleive to be about 39 caches also with a few extras!!

Thanks for the series!! also thanks for the laughs boys!!

Out on another beautiful sunny winters day to have another crack at this series.
This time with Allied OZ and Rokadz we headed south from the Thomas road servo and managed to get to the southern end of the series and after approx 39 caches had the task of riding al the way back. This return trip is the hard bit, coz you don't realise how far you've gone with the constant distraction of finding caches. Thouroughly enjoying the rides and the adventure from this series. Cheers
