This series of letterboxes is hidden in Douglas Walker Park in Byron Center, Michigan. The park is located on 84th St. about a mile west of US 131.

Fire, Air, Earth and Water are considered the four elements. They're sometimes referred to as the Triplicities. That term comes from the fact that there are three astrological signs connected to each element.
Fire- Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.
Air- Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
Earth- Gemini, Libra and Aquarius
Water- Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces

Each box contains a stamp with the symbol for the different elements.

Your adventure starts by the shelter house, so you may want to park as close to that as you can.

Begin your journey by taking a stroll around the shelter house.
(My cousin was married here!)
Since the first stamp you're looking for is fire, look for a source of fire in the shelter house.
Your first treasure is hidden in the bush on the east side of the “fire source”.
(Rehide the box as well as you find it or better)

(The next box is located near water.)
Nearby you will see two bridges.
Cross the southern most bridge.
To your left you will see a place where birds live.
Next to it is a multi-trunk tree.
You next treasure is hidden in the center of this tree.
(Rehide the box as well as you find it or better)

(The next box is located in the woods.)
Now travel north to the second bridge with a paved trail.
You will then have a choose, to the playground or to the woods?
The woods is where you want to go.
Go past the wooden picnic table.
When you see a green pole in the middle of the trail, go past it.
Soon you will hear, then see, Spartan Warehouse.
Go around the 90 degree curve and stop at the “Private Path” sign.
At a direction of 320 degrees you will see a huge rock.
Your next treasure is nestled behind this rock.
(Rehide the box as well as you find it or better)

(The next box is located in a large spacious area.)
Return to the trail and go back the way you came from.
As soon as you cross over the bridge you will want to follow the river.
There's no trail here, you'll just be walking in the grass along side the creek now.
Soon you will see a pole that has the number 56 on it.
Follow the line of telephone wires till you get to the second pole.
At 20 degrees you will see a leaning tree. (approx. 67 steps away)
Your final treasure is hidden under the tree.
(Rehide the box as well as you find it or better)

Have Fun!
