*I am beginning the clues with an introduction to the boxs' backstory; please skip to the clues if you are not interested.*
This series is based on the television show "Avatar: The Last Airbender." If you are unfamiliar with the show, it was a cartoon that aired on Nickelodeon in the mid-to-late 2000s that told the story of four nations, each with a different elemental power: water, earth, fire, or air. The people of each nation may be born with the power (referred to as "bending") to control their nation's respective element. The story follows a boy, the Avatar reincarnated, who has the power to control all four of the elements. His quest is to end the 100-year-old tyrannical rule of the Fire Nation over the other three nations.
There are four letterboxes in this series, each with the theme of the nations' elemental powers and their original benders. The original benders are those who first held the ability to bend; the humans learned to bend for themselves by watching them. The first box is for waterbending, whose original bender was the moon because it controls the tides. However, my stamp is of Tui and La, the koi fish who are incarnates of the gods of the moon and ocean. For earthbending, the first was the badgermoles. For firebending, it was the dragons, and after being hunted down by the Fire Nation's people for glory, only two dragons remained: Ran and Shaw. Finally, the original airbenders were the sky bison. If you've not seen the show and love fantasy and adventure, I recommend it, even if you think you're too old for cartoons.
CLUES:
I have tried to make these clues as fitting to the theme as I could.
Make your way to the Greenwood Cemetery in Mogadore. Enter the cemetery from Mogadore Rd and pull into the eastern-most entrance (the drive to the right of the Greenwood Cemetery sign).
Pass the intersection of the road that goes to your left by continuing straight. Pass the white picket fence. Pass "Ebie" on your right, "Young" on your right, and stop at "Moon" on your left (note: before the driveway curves in front of the guardrail, there is a driveway that you can park your car in case the cemetery is busy for some reason). While in the driveway and by "Moon," on the opposite side of the drive are 4 water droplet-shaped bushes in a row. In the first bush from the drive, next to "Bell," is the first box, "Water - Tui and La." To get it, go around to the backside of the headstone and you will see there is a gap in the bush. The bush is kind of pokey, so put your hand into the space and reach upwards to find the box. Please put the box back in this way.
From here, look north to the edge of the cemetery; there is a metal guardrail. Make your way to the guardrail and magnetized to the western-most end, behind the wooden post, is the second box: "Earth - The Badgermoles." I thought this metal railing may be fitting because metalbending is a discipline of earthbending. Please rehide by ensuring the box is magnetized to the back of the railing.
Make your way back to the water droplet bushes and take a compass heading of 250°. You should see, across the drive, a tall, black headstone for "Burns." Walk to this headstone and then take a compass heading of 260°. Do you see the two, large, evergreen bushes that flank a headstone? Walk to the front-side of this headstone to read "Katzenmeyer." In the left-hand bush is the third box: "Fire - Ran and Shaw."
Go back to "Burns," take a compass heading of 100°, and walk to the front of the "Young" grave on the other side of the drive (the same one as mentioned in the clues previously). Take 17 steps east and find the "Bender" grave. Turn south and see the headstone for "A D Richards. The last box, "Air - The Sky Bison," is hidden in the bush to your right (west). This box also holds the logbook.
I hope you find all of the boxes and I hope they are in good shape. Please update me on their condition. Hopefully, you enjoy the carves of this series!
