This is my 689 find.
Thank you Cirrus_WA for placing and maintaining this cache.
Why did the little girl throw the butter out the window?
To see the butterfly.
Heading south collecting a few more in this series. Thanks Cirrus-wa for the maintenance.
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.
Quick find here. Cheers Cirrus_WA!

Catching up on a few logs that I’ve never got around to sending. Please excuse the generic log. Thanks for the find.
Found it.
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

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.
Teamed up with BRF to grab some of our first Periodic table series. Last one for today. What an enjoyable afternoon taking a stroll and teaming up with BRF. TFTC
Out for a caching run with 2 of the younger geokids and NoseyNorwells to collect some more of the Periodic Table series.
Last cache for the day. Always great doing a series (or part of) with no DNF's. Log signed by the kids again and replaced as found. 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 easy find. Our first one in this series. We are excited to find some more! Tftc
I was south of the river today so thought I'd grab a few more caches from this series. All quick finds. Tftc.
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.

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
Grabbed this one with axell33 and geodog while we were out and about today. Another one done! Tyftc
Found this one with Leega and the Geohound whilst out on a beautiful day for caching. Another one bites the dust. One by one we are knocking off the periodic table. TFTC BlaKids.
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!
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 111th find of 119 for the day and was found at 2:35PM Thanks BlaKids/loubla for the cache. hhheddy

Out this afternoon with Oshiel and jjjzellis to start the Periodic Table. TFTC - find #3 today
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 9:55am, this was the 25th of 37 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 2892. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

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!
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.

# 8024. 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 BlaKids

Out with the family. Muggles appear on the track from time to time, so keep an eye out.
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 10 out of 59 for today. Also our total find number 2499
Thanks BlaKids for this hide.

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.
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 8 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.

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.
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!

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, BlaKids.

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
Parked at the Caltex and set out on foot to do all the caches that I hadn't yet done along the Freeway bike path between Safety Bay Road and Mundijong Road.
This was the last one of the day as I had already done the other two between here and Mundijong Road. Just two more caches to do to finish the series (including a DNF at Gold and the one just south of Gold that I didn't get to because I spent too much time at GOld!). Now a nice brisk walk back to the Caltex as the sun is going down.
Signed the log. Thanks for the hide and for the series BlaKids and LouBla.
