Buzz Aldrin (left) and Neil Armstrong examine rock samples in west Texas near Sierra Blanca and the ruins of Fort Quitman, about 130 kilometers southeast of El Paso. Apollo 16 geology team leader Bill Muehlberger writes, "The Sierra Blanca trip was the only trip specifically on geology for the Apollo 11 crew. They went into the large arroyos to learn how to sample when a variety of rocks are spread out." 24 February 1969. Research by Ed Hengeveld.
