Geocache Description:

Welcome to the periodic table of the elements powered trail. There's 114 caches to each represent each element on the periodic table (until new elements are added). Thanks to Blakids for maintaining this series until the end of 2017

For simplicity sake only elements approved by the “International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry” will be included in this series.



Lead is a bluish-white lustrous metal. It is very soft, highly malleable, ductile, and a relatively poor conductor of electricity. It is very resistant to corrosion but tarnishes upon exposure to air. Lead pipes bearing the insignia of Roman emperors, used as drains from the baths, are still in service. Alloys include pewter and solder. Tetraethyl lead (PbEt4) is still used in some grades of petrol (gasoline) but is being phased out on environmental grounds. Lead isotopes are the end products of each of the three series of naturally occurring radioactive elements. Source: Webelements.

The cache containers are small tubes as shown in the picture below


These containers have only a logbook inside them and no pen/pencil. Please make sure to bring a pen.

This power trail starts at Mount Henry Bridge and continues south down the freeway cyclepath. This power trail is designed for bicycles or walkers and will be extremely hard, if not impossible for drivers. There is however a car park and a playground near the start.

Please stay safe and enjoy the power trail.
