Geocache Description:

A canoe launch and fishing area on the Westfield River in West Springfield, MA

The coordinates are not for the cache but for the nearby parking area.
The string of letters will get you to the cache
North = Mo.nC.nV and West = nHf.Sr.HZn - Experiment with a Chemist!

Annually, the third Saturday of October starts National Chemistry Week. This year the theme is “Joy of Toys”. This also the theme of the cache - toys that are made possible due to advances in chemistry.
The cache is a small ammo box that started with:

12 First finders National Chemistry Week hologram pencils. If you are among the first to find – take one.
6 sets UV detecting color changing beads
1 Jimmy Neutron rocket toy.
1 set Mighty Beanz – Butterfly (133)-Caterpillar(134)
1 can Krazy String
1 bottle bubble soap
1 geometric puzzle
1 lizard that grows 600% in water
1 Canada Geocoin
1 Travel Bug – Avogado

Also: a special Mighty Beanz trading area. Need a bean? Take one – leave one. Starting with: Butterfly (133); Pelican(137); Nightmare(142); 3 Cowgirls (143); Flower Power(162); Tree(168)

The parking area presents ample CITO opportunities but the riverbank is much cleaner than the last time I visited the area. Enjoy the view of Agawam's miniature Grand Canyon. Also check out the wonderful vistas from both sides of the bridge.
