This series is located at the West Linn library off of highway 43 close to a shopping center. You can see it from the road. It's red brick and it has statues in front. It also has a teal roof.

(1) Firebox (Night Stalker)

Park in the parking lot and go toward the Madrone tree on the east side of the parking area. There should be stairs on your right. First, go down the stairs and stop when you are exactly to the right of a pine tree that sits between two totem poles. Look at the totem pole to the right of the pine and go down six animals. The animal you have stopped on is water oriented. Where do you think it would go? Why to the water drain, of course! Head "upstream" and follow the concrete river's flow left. Stop at the first pole and when you turn left you should see a picnic bench -- go to it. Sit and rest for a few seconds, then turn south and start walking up the little sidewalk onto the main one. You should be close to the book drop (if you did it right). Pass the book drop and continue to the bench that doesn't have a back. It's rickety and unstable, but sit down, look to your left and you should find a time capsule due open on 1/1/2091. Walk over to it and examine it for fun or just if you want to. Why don't you squat down to get a closer look? Now look directly up while squatting and you'll see a blue sign across the road -- go to it. Facing the blue sign you'll see a tree behind it. Go pass the tree, pass the upright rock and pass the rock laying down. Turn right where a little sea of ivy is growing. There's also a fence, go quarter of the way in and look down. And that's where the box will be.

P.S. Don't step on it.



(2) Earthbox (Bumble)(This box was relocated on 9/20/06, these are the new clues)

Start at the picnic area. Sit at the table and look for the weeping tree that holds the light. Go to its lamp, and look toward the closest cedar tree's island. Go to the isle, then walk down the stone corridor in the direction of the forest till you reach the mock trunk. Cross to the the yellow water-giver. You should see another pale path to the right. Follow it until it changes color slightly, then turn left. You should be looking at two mossy rocks. The Earchbox is in safe-keeping at the larger one's feet.

(3) Waterbox (Paramys)

By the rock that says "Grow" your path begins. Go up four steps in the direction the sun is looking. Go towards a jumbled "felt" until you spy a baby tree to your right. If your path branches, you've gone to far. Walk cautiously across a river of concrete and stop by many Azaleas. Still facing the way the sun looked, there should be a thin, wispy pole-tree. Turn left, at the base of a many-trunked, flowering tree. There, the Water Box is awaiting you.

P.S. Replace VERY carefully!



(4) Windbox (Vixen, who has lost her stamp and will be placing/finding as Amhrán)

Start from your car. Go towards the road until you come to the ‘Elk cub pu’ sign. Look around. You should be able to see a tan turtle ready to gobble up books from passing cars. Go there. From the side of its shell, you should be able to glimpse a tilted white fountain of great heights. From the fountain, look for a gold and russet tree. Go there, and if you can see stacks of heads, you’re good to go. From the regal tree, look around. Can you see a metal pole? Go behind the tree with the pole in front of it. Facing the sea of ivy, turn left and walk till you meet another pine tree. Face this great tree and pay your respects. (VERY IMPORTANT!!!) After all, you are going to take something from its roots. In the bush beside it, in a cleft in the roots of the mighty sky-toucher, you will behold the Wind Box!
