This is no ordinary geocaching trading item!

Alan the Astronaut is a Travel Bug Dog Tag Travel Bug, traveling from geocache to geocache on a very specific mission.

If you do not intend to log your visit on the Geocaching.com web site, please DO NOT TAKE THIS ITEM. Its travels and its progress requires you to log that it is being taken from this geocache. You will also need to log when you place it in another geocache. It's easy!

If you are willing to log your part of this Trackable's journey and place it in another geocache as soon as possible (after you log your find), grab it from this geocache.

My Current Goal:

Alan 2 is making his way. If you find the original Alan (with the metal tag) which has been assumed lost, please do not log it, but contact me.

Alan prefers to travel BY GROUND even though he is an Apollo astronaut, so please don't move him more than about 200 miles. He does have lofty goal though: to visit the NASA Johnson Space Center, then move on to Kennedy Space Center. Please take pictures of him with space-related things/places and post them.
