After some debate, I decided to pull and retire these boxes. Thanks everyone who found them. :)

This is a microset of boxes. Only the last with the logbook is a regular size. There is no ink.

To start out, park at the Bike trail entrance next to the radio station.
Box #1: The Clues
To find "the clues" head down the bike trail. After you've walked for a little bit, you'll notice a yellow fire hydrant on the left side of the trail. Just after the fire hydrant, you'll see a stone wall heading into the woods on the left. At the beginning of the stone wall is a broken three trunk tree. In the middle of this tree, under a rock, is where you'll find "the clues". Head back out to the trail.

Box #2: The Pencil
Continue along the trail until you come to a stone bench. Behind the stone bench is a three trunked tree. See that 'rock' in the middle? That's where your pencil is hidden. (this is somewhat visible from the trail.) Continue along the trail.

Box #3: The ink
After the bench you'll see another stone wall heading into the woods on the left. From the end of the stone wall, take eight steps up the wall to a 6 trunked tree. And yup, in the middle is where the ink is hiding.

Box #4: The Stamp
So, now you need a stamp. Continue down the trail till you get to the next stone bench. See that large rock behind it? Head behind the rock. Under some rocks you'll find your stamp. Head back out to the main trail.

Box #5: The LogBook(this box was confirmed missing, however I recently found that someone else hid a box in this same area so if you find a box in this spot it's not mine but someone else's. Thanks)
Shortly before you get to the water dept building, you'll see a tree on the right with a drinking water supply sign on it. Across from this tree is a water pipe and a trail heading into the woods. Head uphill into the woods. See the triple trunk tree in front of you? Go to it. In the center, you'll find your logbook and mine. After rehiding well, head back out to the trail and back the way you came to get to your car.
