Geocache Description:


This cache is dedicated to the astronaut Michael Collins.  

From Wikipedia:  "Michael Collins (October 31, 1930 – April 28, 2021) was an American astronaut who flew the Apollo 11 command module Columbia around the Moon in 1969 while his crewmates, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, made the first crewed landing on the surface..."

I always felt just a little bit sorry for Michael Collins.  He had the honor of being present for the first moon landing but didn't actually get to set foot on the moon, as he was piloting the spacecraft during their moonwalk.  That must have been disappointing to be so close and not be able to participate.  Plus, no one ever seems to remember his name while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin are well-known.  

This is a quick park 'n grab.  Please be mindful of your surroundings when stopping.
