+Big-AlH Posted May 30, 2006 Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) Since this thread popped back up I thought I'd add to it. At a recent event I had the pleasure of meeting CenturyOldCacher. I believe she's 101. Jeremy - you can update your "oldest cacher" stat. She's related to Oldhippy and Granny. -al Edited May 30, 2006 by Big-AlH Quote
+Sir Robin Posted May 31, 2006 Posted May 31, 2006 He might not have been the oldest but postmortem caching has to count for something. Uncle Elwin TB3E05 http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.as...0b-810fdeedbeb2 Quote
+Roamingbull Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 He may not be the oldest...but he sure is my favorite "old guy". Pamarler turns 70 this summer. Here he is violating all the rules finding the anniversary cache we hid for Ma and Pa. This one looks fun. Where is it? Quote
+BadAndy Posted June 2, 2006 Posted June 2, 2006 He may not be the oldest...but he sure is my favorite "old guy". Pamarler turns 70 this summer. Here he is violating all the rules finding the anniversary cache we hid for Ma and Pa. This one looks fun. Where is it? It was on the beach near silver strand in california. As it was an anniversary gift, we didn't publish it. If we had tried to publish it, it would not have been approved.... 1. no logbook 2. contained booze 3. was buried 4. temporary vacation cache They were all grins even though they didn't get a yellow smilie for it.

+Jocar Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 I had my 89-year old Dad out geocaching several times in the last couple of weeks. We're heading off to ON this summer and are hoping to take my 86 year old mom out geocaching. We've been talking alot about it with her and will of course ply her with icecream along the way. Quote
+Scare Force One Posted June 4, 2006 Posted June 4, 2006 I call oldest at an age of 100 - 87. (That make me 13 for the slow ones out there!) Quote

+FamilyDNA Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I've seen CenturyOldCacher at a few local events. Quote
+W7WT Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 For a lighter topic, Who is the oldest cacher? January 9th 2007, the day after tomorrow, I will celebrate my 85th birthday. I have found (including events) 2,435 caches Eager looking foward to as many more! WoW, and I thought I was doing well. I will be 82 in April and now have about 1600 caches and I started in August 2001. Congrats Shirconn. I will no longer brag about being OLD. Dick Quote
+HaLiJuSaPa Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 The July, 2005 issue of Bottom Line Tomorrow (a magazine geared toward retirees) had an interview with Bryan Roth of Groundspeak about geocaching (no we're only about halfway to W7WT, my mother-in-law happened to notice it reading the issue at the doctor's office and got permission to bring it home and show us).

+langcap Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I just turned 81. not the oldest but enjoy every cache, 2.0/2.0 and above. no C&D. like to get out and rough it and bush whack thanx. Quote
+drperp Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I turned 60 in December. Went on my first cacheing outing with my middle son in July. Have 38 of my own to date. drperp Quote
+Cladius Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 360.5 years young and going strong! I did say dog years right? Quote
+Danuw Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Started doing this a month ago at 56. After some searches in the cold wet rain and snow I feel dead. Is that old enough Quote
+Green Thumb Trekers Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Are we counting our actual birth age or our "real age" as determined by RealAge.com? If the former, I fall in the middle of the pack at 42. If the latter, I win cuz RealAge says I'm 106! ____________________________________________________________________________________________ "Nine out of ten voices in my head say 'Don't listen to her!'"

Zurcher Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 How about oldest in Connecticut? have been doing it for 10 years now..born 1934 = 78 !!! Quote
+hndlbr Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 I'm well past 74 and hope to retire someday so that I can get out more. hndlbr Quote
+Bowlr Posted December 11, 2012 Posted December 11, 2012 I know of a few cachers in their 80's. I think one is like 88 and the other 2 are only 85 or so. First one just celebrated his 60th wedding anniversary. Quote
+DragonsWest Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 There's a cacher local to me who only started a couple years ago, he's 82, with over 1,000 finds and 150 hides. Quote
+W7WT Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Two years ago I had open heart surgery and the wife had a stroke, So we didn't do much in 2011. I am 87 and my wife Arlene is 86. This year we have found over 2000 caches and should get to 7,000 finds. Our goal is to get 10k before we kick the bucket. dick & arlene Bremerton, WA Quote
+Ma & Pa Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 MA and I ae both in receipt of Canadian Old Age Allowance. Certainly not old but geocaching certainly keeps us more active physically and mentally than many half our ages. PAul Quote
+irisisleuk Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 The oldest geocacher I know is nicknamed Ons Oma (which translates as Our Grandma). She was introduced in the Groundspeak blog last year when she had her 90th birthday. She started when she was 87 and we love the movie her grandchildren made when she did our multi cache here in the Netherlands. Quote
+Team Geo-Clarks Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 From reading this thread I'm not the oldest at 70, but since August 2011 I've been working on a local challenge of raising my averages above 2.0/2.0. They are now at 1.94/1.95 and I hope to complete it by August 2013! Will I go back to lamppost skirts? Never? I also took my mother geocaching when she was 90+. Quote
+BAMBOOZLE Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 Team Bamboozle are both 65 but Bamette just barely and in 3 weeks I'll be 66. Quote
+Walts Hunting Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 We have a local cacher, age 73 or 74, who reguarly bags terrain 4, 4.5, and 5 caches that folks half his age regard as too dangerous to attempt. You know as you get older your judgment often fades. (66) Quote
+cachercats Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 I am 81 and wife will be 74. not the oldest but still going strong at over 16,145 finds in all 50 states and all counties in California and Nevada. Quote
