After several false starts and a great deal of inner debate, I had finally decided to hide my first letterbox. But the question still remained as to where I should hide it. Recently, I had been devoting most of my time towards determining the current whereabouts of Charilaos Konstantinides. In this pursuit, I came across a completely unrelated reference to the world's shortest river. I discovered that there were at least two different waterways competing for this title; however, logic dictates that I assume the one that is longer when measured not to be the shortest. The shorter of the two, even if not officially considered to be the shortest, must be shorter than the one that is longer, and must therefore be the shortest. The longer of the two, which may hold the official distinction of being the shortest, must nonetheless be considered to be longer, and not the shortest. So that's the short and long of it, just to make a long story short... or rather a short story long, as the case may be.
Where this shortest of rivers begins, there is a bridge that goes over the river. This should be obvious, because a bridge that goes under the river wouldn't be much of a bridge, now would it? Nor will I ask you to go under the river, although I may request that you go under the bridge, or very nearly so. This endeavor is best undertaken from the northeast corner of the bridge, so you will likely go over the bridge in order to go under the bridge. As you decend to go under the bridge, you will find a pile of boulders on your left but not under the bridge. One of the larger ones is flat like a table. Two feet northeast of it is another that is roughly shaped like a cube. Do not look under the cube, but rather reach over the cube to reach down and look under two small flat rocks that are behind the cube but not really under the cube. But they are not over the cube; they are lower than the cube, behind the cube, but not below the cube.
