Geocache Description:

The kids and Mom set up this cache for Father's Day. When I found the ammo box, it was full of cool gifts including books and a wind chime. I selfishly took everything and left a lot of conventional plastic toys suitable for kids.

This cache is for our daddy. Oh mighty Geocaching Dad, bring people to our cache and happiness to our hearts. Share the four elements of your being.

Fire is for his courageous side. He is willing to go anywhere to find a cache, even if it means stinging nettles.
N 45 23.791
W 122 45.128
Let T be the number of happy toes that "spring eternal" in the open air.

Wind is for his cooling peace. He loves to make us content and happy.
N 45 24.669
W 122 43.133
Let S be the number of stripes.

Earth is for the solid security he provides. He is always there for us.
N 45 24.739
W 122 43.058
Let R be the number of ram heads.
Let F be the number of hanging fruits.

Water is for the continuous flow of love he gives to us.
N 45 26.038
W 122 42.251
Let C be the number of cascades.

Now for the math:
WW = T x T
XXX = (S x 22) + 10
YY = (R x 10) + 2
ZZZ = (F x 201) + (C x 24)

The cache is at
N 45 WW.XXX
W 122 YY.ZZZ

Checksum: if you add up the fifteen digits of the cache coordinates, the sum is 62.
