Geocache Description:

Gemini V doubled the space-flight record of the Gemini IV mission to eight days. This flight was crucial because the length of time it took to fly to the moon, land and return would take eight days. This was possible due to new fuel cells that generated enough electricity to power longer missions, a pivotal innovation for future Apollo flights.

This was the first mission to have an insignia patch. After Gemini 3, NASA barred astronauts from naming their spacecraft. Cooper, having realized he had never been in a military organization without one, suggested a mission patch to symbolize the flight. NASA agreed, and the patches got the generic name of "Cooper patch." Cooper choose the image of a covered wagon due to the pioneering nature of the flight.

My wife and I enjoy walking these nice sidewalks near our neighborhood. This is #6 of the Space Race series. I recommend parking on Veterans Pkwy just north of the Freedom 7 cache.
