Geocache Description:

Placed this while visiting home. Put this in an area that I know can be checked up on by family. Involves a fairly short, yet possibly difficult and steep hike to the cache. It's actually a nice view of the Chicopee River near where the Reservoir feeds into it. This is near the falls but far enough away that they are not visible. Also, this location is right on one of the approaches to Westover ARB. You may be able to get a close up view of the C-5's (earplugs recommended).

Cache is a standard ammo box that I brought up with me to place near home. I was surprised to see that there were no other caches in this area, so I figured I would add one.

The area is prone to flooding and can be muddy. The cache is hopefully high enough above the river to stay dry. A good amount of trash is strewn about, some of which may be due to the river, but it's not too bad. Fishing may be possible here, but I'm no so sure how good it is.

Cache contents are mostly an assortment of kids stuff: plastic toys, stuffed animals, etc. Also included in the cache is Wandering Dragon GeoCoin #18 which originated in Alexandria VA.
