DIRECTIONS: From downtown Portland, follow McLoughlin Boulevard South. Take the River Road exit, drive four blocks, then turn right on Sparrow Street to the corner of 19th Avenue. To find the letterbox, you must explore a small Willamette River peninsula known as Elk Rock Island. Throughout much of the year, you can actually walk out to this island, but if the water level is high, you will need a boat. Good luck!

In a hollow, under wood debris.
